CNN —It’s the ‘leaning tower’ that has stood tipsily – but steadily – for nearly 1,000 years.
But now, the days of the Garisenda tower in Bologna, Italy, could be numbered.
Following investigations last month, the city is instigating a civil protection plan for the “sudden and unexpected collapse of the tower,” which has dominated the Bologna skyline since the 12th century.
The Garisenda leans at an angle of four degrees – only a little more upright than the Leaning Tower of Pisa’s five degrees.
“The overall situation has unfortunately worsened considerably, with worrying implications for the overall stability of the tower,” reads the report.
