Museum of Torture
About 90 minutes from the venue, San Gimignano is a small city between Florence and Siena.

Tower of Pisa
About two hours from the venue, the Leaning Tower of Pisa is a famous bell tower known for its 4-degree lean. Construction began in 1173 but was not completed until the 14th century. After decades of concerns caused by its unstable, sandy foundation, engineering efforts in the 1990s stabilized it. The tower now stands at over 183 feet tall, and is a popular UNESCO World Heritage Site and tourist attraction.
