• Montereggione is a picturesque old castle on an eminence near Siena. Ampère, Voyage Dantesque , 251, remarks:⁠— “This fortress, as the commentators say, was furnished with towers all round about, and had none in the centre. In its present state it is still very faithfully described by the verse, ‘Montereggion di torri si corona.’ ” ↩
