Giovanni Auditore da Firenze (May 3, 1436-December 29, 1476) is one of the overarching protagonists (alongside Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad) of the Renaissance Saga in Assassin's Creed franchise.
He is the main protagonist of the 2009 live action short film Assassin's Creed: Lineage, one of the overarching protagonists in Assassin's Creed II, and a minor character of its 2010 sequel Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.
He is the late father of Ezio Auditore da Firenze, and was a master member of the Italalian Assassins. He served as a banker and businessman in Firenze and a friend to the Medici Family, and had been opposing the Pazzi Family, until he and his two sons were executed by his former friend Uberto Alberti. 
He is voiced by Romano Orzari.
== Biography ==
He was a Florentine nobleman, the head of the Auditore family in Florence, and is an ancestor to both Clay Kaczmarek and Desmond Miles, the latter through the paternal line.
Despite being the head of the Auditore International Bank, working alongside the Medici family, Giovanni's true nature as an Assassin was known only to a few individuals. Raised and trained along with his brother Mario Auditore from birth to be an Assassin, Giovanni had been aware of the Templar Order for almost all of his life.
Giovanni was also the husband of Maria Auditore, and father to Federico, Ezio, Claudia and Petruccio. He sought to induct his children into the Order, but had only revealed his allegiance to his wife before the time of his death; despite this, he had already begun to train his eldest son in the Assassin ways, albeit secretively.
