When we left Rome we rented a car and drove north to San Gimignano. When I say ‘we’ I mean Mike drove – because only a mental person would choose to drive in Italy as Sandi Riches can attest to.
San Gimignano is a very lovely little hill top town. It’s famous for its medieval towers which survived the war and its very well preserved if a little twee and contrived. It features in ‘Tea with Moussolini’ which no one else seems to like except me. Cher isn’t to everyone’s taste.
