Random walks - Bertinoro
19 September 2007
Saw this small tower in the town square at Bertinoro while attending the SWING and FOSAD workshops. My initial reaction was that this might have been some ancient torture post :) but the real story is a lot rosier. The ancient familes of Bertinoro erected the post with a ring for each family to settle disputes as to who should host travellers - the traveller would tie his horse to a ring and the family that “owned” the ring automatically had the privilege of entertaining him.
