Das Torre e Casa Campatelli ist ein faszinierendes historisches Gebäude in San Gimignano, das eine der typischen mittelalterlichen Turmhäuser der Stadt beherbergt. Es liegt im Herzen von San Gimignano an der Via San Giovanni, der Hauptstraße, die durch die Stadt führt. Was dieses Gebäude besonders auszeichnet, ist die Kombination aus einem hoch aufragenden mittelalterlichen Turm und einem eleganten Palazzo aus dem 18. Jahrhundert, der später in das Turmhaus integriert wurde.

Der Torre Campatelli, der Teil des Gebäudekomplexes ist, gehört zu den noch 14 erhaltenen der ursprünglich über 70 Türme, die im Mittelalter die Skyline von San Gimignano prägten. Er wurde im 12. Jahrhundert erbaut und misst etwa 28 Meter in der Höhe. Wie viele der Türme in der Stadt diente er ursprünglich als Symbol für den Reichtum und die Macht der Familie, die ihn besaß. Die Türme in San Gimignano waren eine Art Prestigeobjekt für wohlhabende Familien, die ihre Macht demonstrieren wollten, und die Höhe des Turms spiegelte den gesellschaftlichen Status wider.

Im 18. Jahrhundert kaufte die wohlhabende Familie Campatelli das mittelalterliche Turmhaus und verwandelte es in einen eleganten Wohnsitz. Sie integrierten den mittelalterlichen Turm in das Gebäude, das heute als Casa Campatelli bekannt ist, und verliehen dem Haus den eleganten Stil dieser Zeit. Der Palazzo ist ein typisches Beispiel für die Architektur des späten 18. und frühen 19. Jahrhunderts und bietet einen wunderbaren Kontrast zu dem rauen, mittelalterlichen Turm.

Heute ist das Torre e Casa Campatelli ein Museum, das von der Fondo Ambiente Italiano (FAI), der italienischen Umwelt- und Denkmalschutzorganisation, verwaltet wird. Es bietet Besuchern die Möglichkeit, in das Leben einer wohlhabenden toskanischen Familie des 19. Jahrhunderts einzutauchen und zugleich die Geschichte San Gimignanos zu erleben. Das Innere des Hauses ist reich an originaler Einrichtung, Kunstwerken und persönlichen Gegenständen der Familie Campatelli, die ein authentisches Bild des Lebens in jener Zeit vermitteln.

Ein besonderes Highlight des Museums ist eine Multimedia-Ausstellung, die die Geschichte von San Gimignano und seiner berühmten Türme erklärt. Besucher erfahren hier viel über die Bedeutung der Türme, das Leben im Mittelalter und die Transformation der Stadt durch die Jahrhunderte hindurch.

Das Torre e Casa Campatelli ist also nicht nur ein architektonisches Juwel, sondern auch ein Ort, an dem Geschichte lebendig wird. Es verbindet die mittelalterliche Vergangenheit San Gimignanos mit der eleganten Lebensweise des 19. Jahrhunderts und bietet einen faszinierenden Einblick in das Leben und die Geschichte dieser einzigartigen Stadt.

This small museum offers a lot more than might be expected from the outside! In regular intervals, a film presentation about San Gimignano and its surroundings is given - in an exceptional quality, both in terms of historical facts and didactical quality. This is maybe the first thing a first-time visitor to the town should see, in order to get an idea about the natural, economic, political, and cultural history of the region. The rest (i.e. the main part) of the museum is a totally different issue, but also a must-see: The whole building is an immersive display of the fin-de-siècle living reality of the Campatelli family, the rooms seem to have been abandoned by them just a few...

Great museum. You can walk around a Tuscan house and learn about the people that lived, you can also look inside one of those San Gimigniano towers, the house has been donated to the FAI by the last owner. There is also a movie/presentation that gives you a summary of the history of town and Tuscany. Great experience,...

You can live the town’s history through the stories told by the objects in this preserved home. Comes with a fantastic documentary of Tuscany and then the ability to explore up close real artifiacts of the home. Great views of the countryside from the balcony. Awesome organization!

Absolutely to visit! When all the tourists are walking around and just watching towers this is the place where you can really back in time. Beautiful house. The film on the top floor about history of San Gimignano was super interesting.

An excellent video presentation about the history of the town, which you don't often get elsewhere. The house itself is amazing and you can get up close to everything. The ladies at the ticket desk were lovely and very helpful.
