San Gimignano

A

San Gimignano è conosciuta come la città delle belle torri. Alcuni la definiscono la Manhattan del Medioevo. La torre del comune si chiama la Rognosa, detta anche la “Torre dell’Orologio.” È la più alta torre della città. Ogni Capodanno, sotto le torri in Piazza del Duomo, si celebra la fine dell’anno con musica, spumante, dolci e poi, a mezzanotte, lo spettacolo dei fuochi d’artificio per inaugurare il nuovo anno.
