Set here
Video games that take place here. A game is filmed nowhere, so this is where the story is set rather than where a camera stood — a different claim from everything above, and kept under its own heading for that reason.

Assassin's Creed II
“Florence has appeared as a location in video games such as Assassin's Creed II.” Wikipedia
Set here, per Wikipedia
Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Florence, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement — two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.
- Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
- Dante's Inferno

Arte
“16th-century Florence is the setting of the Japanese manga and anime series Arte.” Wikipedia

Assassin's Creed Identity
“The game takes place during the Italian Renaissance at the beginning of the 16th century, and features locations from both Assassin's Creed II and Brotherhood, such as Rome, Florence, and Monteriggioni.” Wikipedia
Drawn from this place
Video games whose Japanese Wikipedia article names Florence as a real place their setting was modelled on. Nothing was filmed here and no story happens here: somebody drew it from here. That is the weakest claim this atlas makes about a place, which is why it sits under its own heading, and each production’s page links the article the claim came from.
