6 ITALIANAMERICANHERALD.COM | SEPTEMBER2023 CITIES
two of the most powerful families of the city, the Galluzzi and the Carbonesi. There was deep hatred between the two families, but this did not stop Virginia and Alberto from meeting and falling in love. They married
in secrecy but were discovered by Virginia’s father who then killed Alberto. A heartbroken Virginia then hung herself from a window in her house so their love would be eternal.
The Torre degli Asinelli also comes with a legend. It is said that around 1100 a modest bricklayer was working with his donkeys (asini) when they started acting strangely. When he went to check why they were pawing out the ground he found a treasure of gold coins. He kept his good fortune secret until years later his poor son met a beautiful girl whose wealthy father refused to let her marry the young man unless he could build the tallest tower in the city. The father then offered the money to his son he could build the Torre degli Asinelli and marry his love.
