Probably the most famous small town in Italy, San Gimignano dominates the Val d'Elsa with its dramatic skyline bristling with towers. It was founded by the Etruscans and grew rich from agriculture as well as being an important resting place on the pilgrim way to Rome. The population was devastated by the plague in the fourteenth century, and its economy collapsed as the pilgrim trade all but vanished.
