Eater[edit]
Torre del Mangia is a shorter form of Torre del Mangiaguadagni - "Profit-eater Tower". I suspect (although I have no evidence) that the attribution to any hungry individual is a piece of retrospective folk etymology. It seems more likely to me that, while it was being built, the grandiose tower itself was seen as a waste of public money by some citizens. Steve Graham (talk) 11:22, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
