San Gimignano
[May 21) Neo-Medievalism] • city-states • each family had a defensive tower to retreat to if there was some sort of threat of safety • sam gimignano had a lot of towers everywhere but in mid 13th century, so did florence and other places. in florence and other places, the family towers had to be lowered to certain point and then even more lowered to not be taller than the roofs of everything. However, San Gimignano never got there and never got a centralized government cus it was poor and stuff, so the towers are still there. now it is a popular tourist attraction • can really get a sense of what a life in a medieval town would have been like. • shows the trial and error of effective government |
