On our last day of an Italy tour that began more than three weeks ago, we drove to Pisa to see another iconic structure, the Torre Pendente, or Leaning Tower. It defies gravity and logic. It throws off your equilibrium as soon as you step inside and even more so as you climb the 300 stairs to the belfry.
As I look at our photos, I still feel off kilter, although it might be partly due to the Italian birra that has left my glass.
The bell tower began leaning soon after construction began in 1173. Modern engineering has halted the tilt for at least 200 more years. I wish engineers could do the same for me.
