In which Italian region is the hill town of San Gimignano and its famous towers?
Answer Tuscany
Back in the Renaissance, Tuscany was where it was at. The tiny hill town of San Gimignano was especially fortunate to be located along a major trade route. The steady flow of people was a huge financial boon, and the wealthier villagers eagerly began to broadcast their 1% status by erecting impressive towers. At the height of San Gimignano's boom, 72 towers were crammed into the little town. Only 15 remain today.
