The Watercolours of Ettore Roesler Franz
Torre dei Frangipane or Monkey -1884

Corner between the Bear and because of Pianellari , the Tower of the Monkey recalls a touching legend that has given it this name.

Medieval tower originally built by Frangipane , then passed to Scapucci who restored it and owned it until the sixteenth century. The tower has a square shape composed of four floors located at the top of the terrace of the palace Scapucci . More than for its importance, its fame is due precisely to the legend associated with the monkey.

the Legend

It is said that he lived in a noble tower , with a monkey and one son still in diapers . One day the monkey would have grabbed the baby and climb to the top of the tower , screaming and jumping like a devil , he would have risked his life , causing him to dangle in a vacuum. The man came home , he would find in the street a group of people who came , gathered in prayer to beseech the Virgin Mary for the salvation of the child. He himself would have made a vow to Mary, to dedicate a shrine perpetual top of the tower , where the baby was saved. Finally the monkey would come back down , bringing back with him the baby and laid it in his father's arms . Since then , at the behest of the noble , in front of a statue of the Virgin, placed on the top of the tower, is always on the light of a lamp.
