Torre dell'Arengo

The Torre dell'Arengo is a medieval brick tower in Bologna, built around 1201 during the city's era of autonomous commune governance. The name "Arengo" refers to the civic assembly that free Italian city-states convened on their main squares, summoned by the tower's bell — a direct instrument of popular self-rule in 13th-century northern Italy.
