圭尼吉塔
Guinigi Tower
卢卡 · 意大利
在卢卡城内，塔楼曾是财富与地位的象征。英文维基写道：“The tower dates from the latter half of the 14th century, when a number of wealthy families were building towers within Lucca's walls as status symbols.” 圭尼吉家族正是这样的富商与银行家：“The Guinigis were a wealthy family of merchants and bankers.” 他们建起的这座塔，成了城中少数留存至今的塔楼之一：“It is one of the few remaining towers within the city.”
这座塔最动人的特征不在高度，而在顶端：“It is known for the holm oaks growing on top of the tower.” 中文维基也强调“其主要特征是在其顶部的几株冬青栎”。它作为卢卡代表性的古迹，承载着家族兴衰之后的归属转折。英文维基记载：“The tower was donated to the city in 1968 by the descendants of the Guinigi family.” 中文维基同样提到，根据圭尼吉家族最后的后裔的意愿，塔被交给卢卡市。于是，一座原本属于私人家族的身份象征，转为城市共同记忆的一部分。
