Two Towers context
Medieval family towers behind a fictional conspiracy
The Asinelli and Garisenda towers rose in the early 12th century near the point where the ancient Via Emilia entered Bologna. Both lean, and together they became the city’s most recognizable medieval symbols. The 1252 murder plot belongs to the quest; the towers, their civic history and the dense medieval streets around them provide the real setting. Playable languages: English, Italian, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Dutch, Romanian.
