The Italian culture ministry earmarked
5 million to fix the leaning tower of Bologna, which has been
cordoned off amid fears it may topple.
The work to repair and secure the Garisenda tower will run until
June 2026, said Culture Undersecretary Lucia Borgonzoni.
The Garsenda is one of two towers standing side by side in the
heart of Bologna, and symbols of the Emilian capital.
The 48m Garisenda, which stands alongside the 97m and straight
Torre degli Asinelli in the ancient heart of Bologna, is in a
worrying state of stability, Borgonzoni said in October.
