San Gimignano Bellezza is located in Tuscany, 56 km south of Florence. It was an important stopover for pilgrims on their way to and from Rome via the Via Francigena. The noble families who controlled the town built some 72 towers (some as high as 50 meters) as a symbol of wealth and power. Although only 14 have survived, San Gimignano has retained its feudal atmosphere and appearance. The town is also home to several masterpieces of 14th and 15th century Italian art.
