This morning Stefano suggested that we drive to the medieval Tuscan town of San Gimignano, which we haven’t visited in years.

Well, I didn’t need much convincing (none, in fact!). It was a perfect day for such an outing, sunny and glorious. Besides, this little trip gave me an opportunity to take a few photos for the blog! 😉

I had forgotten how breathtaking San Gimignano is, even though only 14, some websites say 15 (I have to say that I didn’t count them) of its original 72 13^th century towers are still left standing. But those 14 or 15…aaah, what a sight!

We walked all over the place and had a fabulous time popping in and out of countless arched alleys and walking on the ramparts of the town’s 14h century fortress (Rocca di Montestaffoli). A lovely day.
