The Mangia Tower

The Mangia Tower is the City Hall’s 330-foot-tall City Tower on one of the sides of the Campo. It is Italy’s tallest secular tower. It was named after a the bell ringer who enjoyed life, when he got his money from work, he used his money on food. That is why it is called the Mangia Tower. Mangia means to eat in Italian. In front of the City Hall or Palazzo Pubblico is his statue. I just learned that and I thought that it was funny. Also, now you can climb up to the top of the tower which is very fun, especially because you can see the Campo, the countryside and most of Siena below. I really like climbing all the towers it is a lot of fun!
