The Tower or Torre dei Rossi-Cerchi is a reconstructed medieval tower, now part of a hotel, located on Via Guicciardini, corner Borgo San Jacopo, in the Oltrarno district near the entrance to the Ponte Vecchio in Florence, region of Tuscany, Italy. ==History== The present tower is a reconstruction after the prior structure was entirely razed by mining to destroy all the Florentine bridges over the Arno by retreating German forces during World War Two. The tower was built in the early 1200s by the Guelph Rossi family. The tower and the adjacent house were partially destroyed, after the Ghibelline victory at the Battle of Montaperti and the property was inherited at first by the Cerchi family, and later by the Canigiani family.〔(Le torri di Firenze ), by Lara Mercanti and Giovanni Straffi, Firenze, Alinea, 2003, page 156.〕 The structure is presently part of the Hotel Pitti Palace al Ponte Vecchio. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Torre dei Rossi-Cerchi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
