Rome

Where John Wick fulfills Santino's marker and the Rome Continental keeps the peace.

Rome is the setting of the middle of John Wick: Chapter 2. Bound by Santino D'Antonio's marker, John travels to Rome to kill Santino's sister Gianna, so that Santino can claim her seat at the High Table. The city has its own branch of the Continental, managed by Julius.

Lore & Background

John makes his way through Gianna's coronation and finds her in her dressing room; she chooses to slit her wrists, and he shoots her to end her suffering. Leaving, he is attacked by her bodyguard Cassian and flees into the catacombs, where Santino's bodyguard Ares double-crosses him. The fight with Cassian carries into the Rome Continental, where the two are stopped from 'conducting business', and Julius gives John safe passage back to New York.
