::::::::NEED TO KNOW MORE??:::::::INFO:::::::::::::
Leaning Tower of Pisa italically called as 'Tonve Pendente Di Pisa' is a medieval structure immortalized by the settling of its foundation, causing it to lean 17 feet (5.2 meters) from the perpendicular.
The bell tower, began in 1174 as the third and final structure of the cathedral complex,
was designated to stand 185 feet high and was constructed of white marbles.
Three of its eight stories were completed when the uneven Settling of the foundation in the soft ground became noticeable.
Bonnano Pisano, the engineer in charge of construction of the present tower that leans in Pisa, sought to compensate for the lean by making the new stories slightly taller on the short side, but the extra masonry caused the structure to sink aside still further.
Work was suspended several times as engineers sought solutions, but the tower was ultimately topped out in the 14th century and thus it stills leans.
In modern times the foundation have been strengthened by injection of cement grounding, but is the late 20th century,
the structure was still in danger of collapse, and various schemes were under considerations of saving it.
