The Zavesky Observatory is a location in Mafia II.
History[]
The Zavesky Observatory is located in Hillwood, northeast of Empire Bay. Named after Peter Zavesky, it's home to the largest planetarium dome on the eastern seaboard. The construction took six years, and was funded by Carlo Falcone, who's known as a generous benefactor with a love of astronomy. The facility is used by universities throughout the region for scientific and educational purposes,[1] and includes a picturesque park with a view of the city. There is also an older, abandoned observatory located nearby.
The facility is the setting for the final mission in Mafia II, in which Vito Scaletta kills Carlo Falcone and his men on orders from Leo Galante in order to make up for the war he started with the Triads.
Influence[]
The Zavesky Observatory is based on the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles. A concrete sculpture can be found in the park, which is taken from the Astronomers Monument in front of the Griffith Observatory.[2]
