Tor di Nona The Tor di Nona— now a small area in Rome's Rione V called "Ponte", which lies in the heart of the city's historic center, between the via dei Coronari and the Tiber— commemorates an unregretted mediaeval tower which stood there. As the Torre dell'Annona it was a medieval stronghold of the Orsini; from the early 1400s, the tower acted as a pontifical prison: Benevenuto Cellini experienced the ill-famed dungeon's terrible lightless cells, one of which was known as "the pit", and Giordano Bruno was tortured here before being burned alive in Campo di Fiori.
