They wanna Pisa the motion.
There’s one other leaning tower in Italy — but this time, officials are anxious a couple of dangerous collapse.
The Twelfth-century catastrophe-in-waiting is the Torre Garisenda, standing tall at 148-foot on a four-degree bend — for now — at the guts of Bologna.
The locally beloved, long-standing icon was considered to be at “high risk” of tumbling down just last 12 months, CNN reported.
The tilting troublemaker, now off-limits to onlookers, stands next to a bigger, 319-foot structure called Asinelli Tower — together they’re generally known as the 2 towers.
Earlier this week, city officials recruited scaffolding, pylons, and other equipment used on the Leaning Tower of Pisa to try to keep Torre Garisenda within the air, in a $20M initiative.
It’ll take half a 12 months to switch the equipment for optimal use.
“This may make it possible to secure the tower,” Bologna mayor Matteo Lepore said at a press conference.
A truncated description of the plan is to run supports across the mid-section of the tower that hook up with two pulley systems anchored in the bottom.
Work on its masonry will come after.
“In 2025 and 2026 there might be further consolidation and restoration work, which still must be planned,” the mayor added.
When in-built the Middle Ages, the 2 towers served each a military purpose for signaling and city defense together with a flaunting of prestige, in accordance with town’s tourism board.
