Towering Ambitions: From Private to Public in Renaissance San Gimignano

RESTORATION PROJECT
April 2011
Casa e Torre Campatelli
The hilltop town of San Gimignano cuts a striking profile against the Tuscan countryside thanks to prominence of its 13 Medieval Towers. The Campatelli Palace and Tower is a prime example of these iconic structures, and will be only the second of its kind open to the public in San Gimignano. Not only is the property fascinating from an architectural standpoint, but it also provides a glimpse into the lifestyle of the Tuscan upper classes of the 19th and 20th centuries.
