That's a good parallel, Marco, especially the top part of the tower. Also, a domed building is at the appropriate location 
The difficulty is, as JKP shows, that these elements were relatively popular in 15thC Europe. I know of several churches around here with a globular decoration in the spire, and it is true that a large amount of towers - especially the spires - have been lost or rebuilt in a different style. These circumstances make the search for similar buildings very difficult.
Based on the similarity alone I'd still say this tower is a good candidate. However, it appears to be standing in the middle of the old town while the VM tower is near or even part of what looks like a fortified wall...
