“The reasons for the construction of so many towers are not clear. One hypothesis is that the richest families used them for offensive/defensive purposes during the period of the investiture Controversy”
That was actually one of the reasons I learned. The rich families wanted to show how rich they were so they built towers. Then other rich families built their own, preferably bigger, to show that they had a bigger penis more money.
Are there any facts to back that up? I don’t know. I heard it ~25 years ago and I don’t remember the source. Though, I was in Bologna around that time so possibly from a tour or possibly from some drunk guy at a party.

My guess is it was about who has the longest one.
It’s not about height, it’s about girth. You need a properly wide base and taper in order to
pleasehouse so many soldiers.That was actually one of the reasons I learned. The rich families wanted to show how rich they were so they built towers. Then other rich families built their own, preferably bigger, to show that they had

Another hypothesis is that the city was taken over by wizards.
Hey, just because they use magic doesn’t mean they’re wizards. The biggest investiture tower, Urithiru, is actually associated with paladins
I choose to believe this one.
