Why Leaning Tower of Pisa matters
The Leaning Tower is smaller than people expect and more graceful. It started to tilt while it was still being built, and it was stabilised by engineers in recent decades. You can climb the narrow steps for a view. Everyone takes the pretend-to-push photo.
Talking points
- It began to lean during construction.
- Engineers corrected the tilt in recent decades.
- You can climb to the top.
- The posed photo is a ritual.
