Now here’s one historial attraction I didn’t get a chance to go to when I was a kid living in Italy:
This would have been such a cool sight to see, but oh well. Anyway, the Italian Government has managed to save this tower from collapsing some time between 2030 and 2040, and actually returned it to its 1838 position, giving it at least another 170 years of life (so to speak).
I found it interesting that Mussolini actually wanted to return the tower to its original vertical position from 1173. Good thing that didn’t occur; it would have lost its beauty and charm...something so lacking these days.
