More gifts from the Cantina. This plate may be rubbish, but does remind us of one of our all-time favourite movies "Tea with Mussolini". That coincidence I am sure will elevate it to treasure.
In other cities such as Florence, most or all of their towers have been brought down due to wars, catastrophes, or urban renewal, San Gimignano has managed to conserve fourteen towers of varying heights, for which it is known internationally. It is now a UNESCO Heritage site
Some of the towers are:
- Torre Grossa, (1311) 54 metres
- Torre della Rognosa, 51 metres
- Torre Cugnanesi
- Torre del Diabolo
- Torri degli Ardinghelli
- Torri dei Salvucci
- Torre Chigi, (1280)
- Torre Pettini
