EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking view of the Torri degli Ardinghelli, or Towers of the Guelphs, in the hill-top town of San Gimignano, Italy, prior to July 1944. Located near Siena, this medieval town is renowned for its unique skyline of towers, which date back to the eleventh century. In this image, the towers are seen standing proudly against the backdrop of the Tuscan countryside, as viewed from the Palazzo del Podesta. However, this tranquil scene was soon to be shattered. In July 1944, the town of San Gimignano became the target of a relentless German artillery bombardment. The attack, which began on the 13th of July and lasted for an unyielding 30 hours, reduced the once-historic town to ruins. The Illustrated London News reported on the devastation, describing the scene as a "pile of rubble where once stood the beautiful and famous town of San Gimignano." The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the town's rich history and the destruction it endured during the Second World War. The Torri degli Ardinghelli, which were once symbols of the town's power and prosperity, now stand as silent witnesses to the past. This image, taken prior to the bombardment, offers a glimpse into a time when the towers still stood tall and proud, a testament to the enduring beauty and resilience of this remarkable Italian town.
