There's more than one leaning tower in Italy

By: PAULA REYNOLDS

Italy’s towers are an integral part of her appeal, yet comparatively few remain. At the height of its development, Lucca boasted 250 towers; today has only 3.

The hilltop town of San Gimignano holds the honor of best representing what a hilltop town looked like in days of old. Her 17 towers proudly nudge the Tuscan sky, asking if it remembers the day when there were 75 standing tall.
