San Gimignano, Tuscany

We seem to be surrounded by Italian holidaymakers in our apartments right now, so it feels appropriate to have a painting of Italy this week. In fact, we even had porcini fettucine for dinner tonight!
We were driving through Tuscany in April when we spotted San Gimignano in the distance, towering over the lovely Tuscan hillside, so off we went towards it. San Gimignano is a small walled medieval hill town near Siena, which began as an early Estruscan settlement. It's well known for its medieval towers – originally 75 of them, which were built as symbols of power and wealth by the residents. Only 15 towers now remain, dating back to the 11th and 13th centuries.
