Today is the money eaters tower but ifio you suffer the vertigoes you goes mad so, maybe you shouldn’t go on the top of this tower which is 88 meters high, but i warn you: you’ll lose an exceptional view.
Up there the spectacle is breathtaking, you can see all the city: The place, the Cathedral and all the hills that surrounded the city. The tower takes its name from Giovanni Duccio, first keeper of the tower, also known as “mangia-guadagni”( means : “Money eater”, in Italian it’s a way to call people who waste their money), who spent all his money eating in all Siena’s taverns. That’s why the tower is called “Torre del mangia” (means: Mangia’s tower). The legend tells that during the construction at the foot of the tower were hidden some lucky coins and that at the 4 corners of the tower there are stones on which are engraved sentences in Latin and Hebraic with the task of keeping away thunders and storms from the tower from to the top to the bottom.
First down then up

This You see the way out
In there you see this
And this
Outside you see this
In the crypto tunnelio you see this
Up the tower you see this
Going the tower, this the way....
Go the church and the crypt first
Then go the towers domani
The money eater will wait.
Then you go home for mangia and chianti or
Aperitivo da asporto
Alore
Mio
