After Sequence 02, your fellow assassins will notice that there have been some weird symbols placed around the simulation of Italy that you're in. By finding them all and solving some puzzles, you'll be able to decode a secret left behind by the previous subject that went crazy under Abstergo confinement. To find a glyph use your Eagle Vision.

🔹 Florence

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⛶ Glyph⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Location⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Glyph #1
At the base of a bell tower northeast of the dome at the top of San Lorenzo. The glyph itself is a monkey with a very spiraled tail.
Glyph #2
Fairly high up at the northeast corner of the Mercato Vecchio. A string of Chinese text is hidden on the right side of two windows.
Glyph #3
On the northern side of Santa Croce, partially up the building. I'm not entirely sure what this thing is.
Glyph #4
On the eastern side of the rooftops of Ospedale Degli Innocenti. It'll be an Eye of Horus, from Egyptian mythology.
Glyph #5
At the top of La Rosa Colta, Paola's brothel that you go to during Sequence 02.
🔹 Monteriggioni
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⛶ Glyph⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Location⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Glyph #6
On the northwest corner of the front wall of the villa. It's a barcode with the date 12/21/2012 hidden underneath it.
🔹 Forli
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⛶ Glyph⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Location⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Glyph #7
Halfway up the tall tower to the northeast. It kind of looks like a mountain.
Glyph #8
Some Hebrew text high up on a wall in the building with a square courtyard. You can climb up to it from below or drop to it from the rooftop.
🔹 Tuscany/San Gimignano

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⛶ Glyph⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Location⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Glyph #9
On top of the Torre del Diavolo. Look on your map for the one art merchant in Tuscany, then look north of it for a black rectangle indicating a tower. Climb this tower to get to the glyph. It'll be an all-seeing eye inside a triangle.
Glyph #10
At the Antico Teatro Romano, which is the big theater to the southwest. Head down into the theater properly from the roadside and make a left as soon as you can, where you'll find a glyph that looks like two fingerprints on top of each other. Or galaxies. It could be either, really.
Glyph #11
In Santa Maria Assunta, the dark gray building in the walls of Tuscany. Face the building from the east (looking west), and head up the stairs. There's a small archway left of the stairs at the top that leads to a mountain glyph, as well as a small courtyard.
Glyph #12
Return to the art merchant and look south for two towers right next to each other. This last glyph, reminiscent of a Japanese temple, is in-between the two towers. You can get to it by using the nearby buildings and their smaller rooftops.
Glyph #13
At the Monte Oliveto Maggiore, which is the largest building to the southwest outside of the city walls. Climb up the windows on the rounded southern exterior and you'll find this pyramid-looking glyph at the top of the first roof.
🔹 Venice
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⛶ Glyph⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Location⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Glyph 14
Swim underneath the Rialto Bridge to find a spider drawn on the east side.
Glyph 15
At the top of this building.
Glyph 16
Three triangles lined up along the rooftops north of the Thieves' Guild.
Glyph 17
A dastardly symbol at the top of this tall spire.
Glyph 18
On the floor of a fenced-in area on the rooftop above a tunnel here.
Glyph 19
On the east side of this building. It's a few circles around a large, unfinished one.
Glyph 20
On the back of the large curved piece at the top of the building. It should look like an audio file wave, but it isn't.

Another great guide, but I noticed a mix, in tuscany, you inverted the description of the 10th glyph and 13th glyph

I am guessing you haven't met the bug where you get a gray screen when reopening a puzzle you didn't finish? I have found all of them but the first one I found is just giving me a gray screen with no audio and never loads any puzzle. I've solved all except that one :/
