Zusammenfassung:The erotic frescoes adorning a chamber in San Gimignano's communal bell tower are among the most fascinating surviving examples of secular art from the late Middle Ages. Despite their fame, neither these frescoes - which include scenes of two lovers in a bathtub and Aristotle ridden by his seductress - nor those of the commune council hall have been well understood as products of the communal culture they represent.
