So, what does borgo mean? In Italy, by “borgo” we call little Medieval towns, that were built by a few families who got along with each other. Wealthy citizens were the founders of influential family clans that built the famous tall towers (a symbol of power and prosperity) that are today the hallmark of San Gimignano. By the 14th century there were more than 70, but only 14 have survived. Travelling around Italy, we can claim that Tuscany has the most fascinating borgos that are easily adjustable for a wonderful Tuscan proposal! Let us have a look at San Gimignano – the perfect borgo for you to propose for your better half!
