On the 1st of January, 1500, Angelina helped in the preparations for Claudia Auditore's birthday party, which was to be held in the Villa Auditore. However, she found herself unable to carry a box of flowers up to the Villa, and loudly began to complain that no one was offering to help her. Eventually, she was approached by Claudia's older brother, the Assassin Ezio Auditore, who came to her aid. Though Claudia had meant for the party to be a surprise to her brother, Angelina did not recognize Ezio, and invited him to accompany her to the celebrations.
