SAN GIMIGNANO





01/06/08 Approaching San Gimignano I can see distinctive towers. While in other cities, such as Bologna or Florence, most or all of their towers have been brought down due to wars, catastrophes, San Gimignano has managed to conserve fourteen towers of varying height which have become its international symbol. It looks like a town plucked from a fairy tale and set into the Tuscan countryside. Spectacular!!! It is nice to be again in the square of Cisterna and in piazza del Duomo. The atmosphere is lively, people are relaxed and walk along the narrow streets and at that moment I realize that I am filled with a sense of FULFILMENT. I cannot describe exactly that feeling but I FEEL…the subtle beauty of this town has touched me and I enjoy my psychological state…
