The Torre and Casa Campatelli doors reopen in Tuscany, Foundation asset in the heart of Saint Gimignano (SI) which offers an unpublished and in-depth story of the village, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and invites you to discover a typical nineteenth-twentieth-century bourgeois residence, which has come to us intact in its appearance and atmosphere thanks to Lydia Campatelli, who in 2005 you leave it to the FAI on condition that it was open to the public, and within which it preserves a precious family heritage, made up of furnishings, decorations, art collecting, memories and traditions.
It will be possible to cross the threshold of this charming 28-meter tower house built in the middle of the 12th century – the only one of the 14 surviving towers of San Gimignano to have preserved the single original volume of the building, completely empty inside – which from the early nineteenth century hosted the Campatelli family, well-known Florentine entrepreneurs and landowners. The path will begin on the second floor with an exciting film projected on the walls of the attics, dedicated to the millenary history of the Tuscan village and its identity, during which the public will be invited to enter the Tower. Then, on the main floor of the building, you can immerse yourself in the daily life of the hosts: a world suspended in the past between original furnishings, photographs, private memories, art objects and collections, among which the ceramics of Montelupo and the paintings of the painter Guido Peyron, uncle of the donor.
