| dc.description | Close view of the town from the north; The town of San Gimignano was probably Etruscan in origin judging from archeological finds in the area. During the Roman period it was named "Silvia". During the Middle Ages the name was changed to San Gimignano in honor of the sainted Bishop of Modena, said to have posthumously delivered the townspeople from the depredations of Germanic barbarians. The walled hill town still retains medieval character; was troubled by Guelph / Ghibelline conflict of the Middle Ages; was taken by Florence in 1250, and again in the 14th century.
