Milan, SAEDNEWS: Even at the beginning of construction in August 1173, it started to lean, due to the soft ground that it was built on. Which is why it needs constant attention. Since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic the conservation team are taking advantage of the lack of tourists to make progress with the maintenance of this iconic building. Our correspondent in Italy, Natalia Mendoza went to observe recent operations.
The stabilisation of the Leaning Tower of Pisa was completed a long time ago. On June 16, 2001, the day of Saint Rainier (Pisa's Patron Saint), the citizens of Pisa were returned their monument. On December 31 of the same year the International Committee that had been established more than 10 years before with the task of studying and implementing measures to restore the tower to health, was disbanded. The Committee studies, the gradual and painstaking research and understanding of the tower's problems, the devising and definition of temporary and permanent stabilisation works and lastly their implementation have repeatedly been mentioned and dealt with in several scientific articles published in specialised journals. The executive planning and actual implementation of the works devised and planned by the Committee, though less known, but equally rich and interesting was carried out with passion, commitment and great skill by the Consorzio Progetto Torre di Pisa (Tower of Pisa Project Consortium) composed of the companies Trevi, Rodio, Italsonda, Ismes and Bonifica.
