★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Dei Catalani, nobile famiglia di fazione guelfa, si dice che avessero 75 servi oltre un’alta torre nei pressi dell’attuale piazza Maggiore che pareva competere in altezza con l’Asinelli e fu demolita nel ‘400 per timore di crolli, allora assai frequenti e disastrosi.
Questa casa-torre, bassa e robusta, risale al XIII secolo e fu ribattezzata ‘torre delle cornacchie’. Le cronache del tempo la ricordano per essere stata colpita da diversi fulmini.
Dei Catalani, noble family of the Guelph faction, are said to have 75 servants over a high tower near the current Piazza Maggiore which seemed to compete in height with the Asinelli and was demolished in the 15th century for fear of collapses, then very frequent and disastrous.
This low and robust tower house dates back to the 13th century and was renamed the 'tower of the crows'. The chronicles of the time remember her for being hit by several lightning strikes.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Una delle torri gentilizie di Bologna appartenuta alla famiglia Catalani. Detta anche torre delle cornacchie è ricordata per essere stata più volte colpita dai fulmini. La leggenda vuole che fu fatta costruire da Delfino Catalani per permettere a suo nipote, Alberto Carbonesi, di guardare la sua amata, Virginia Galluzzi, che aveva una torre proprio di lì vicino.
One of the noble towers of Bologna belonged to the Catalani family. Also known as the crows tower, it is remembered for having been hit by lightning several times. Legend has it that it was built by Delfino Catalani to allow his nephew, Alberto Carbonesi, to watch his beloved, Virginia Galluzzi, who had a tower just nearby.
