Depends on if you mean stop it from leaning more - that's already been done - or if you mean make it straight.
We probably could, by now. But since it's the lean that's made it famous, I don't Think anyone would want to do that.
You don't.
They were involved in wars and didn't have the Money.
Your answer is in google please stop being lazy and find it!
Before the restoration works the tower leaned 1-1.5 millimeters every year.It was closed for then years (1990-2000) and now it doesn't lean anymore. The tower was also straightened by more than 40 centimeters back.The leaning tower of Pisa moves an average of 1.5cm every year. This changes because they are trying to stop the lean.the leaning tower of Pisa leans 1mm each year1,00000000 a yearThe leaning tower of Pisa began leaning shortly after its construction in1173. In 1350, it was leaning at 2.5o, or 4 metres from being vertical. By 1990, its lean had grown to 5.5o, or 4.5 metres, and was increasing at 1.2mm per year.Architects estimated that the tower would have fallen by the year 2020 so it was closed for 12 years to allow $25 million worth of engineering work to take place.When it re-opened in 2001, it's lean had been pushed back to 5o or 4.1 m, and it is now guaranteed to stay up for at least another 300 years!...alot
Recently there have been hole drilled under the high side (opposite to the lean) to make the tower tilt back the other way and stop it toppling. The drilling was precise to weaken certain points on the foundations and cause the angle of tilt (tower to vertical) to decrease.
It was built on sandy soil and began to lean before it was finished. Through many efforts the government of Italy has tried to stop the lean and to some extent they have, but the lean is still there even though a little less than it was a few years ago.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa first began to tilt during its construction when the foundation of the ground it was built on was too soft on one side to properly support the tower's weight. As the tower was being completed, the initial tilt gradually began to lean even more until the structure was completely stabilized in May 2008. Engineers announced that for the first time in history, the tower would stop moving, and would remain stable for at least the next two hundred years. This tilt is what makes the tower an unusual landmark and architectual phenomenom. As a popular tourist attraction, the tower is visited by millions of tourists per year.
Yes, although it has not been 'straightened', although supports have been placed to help prevent it leaning further. Because the tower was in serious danger of toppling completely by 1964, the Italian government asked for aid and advice to preserve it. It took many decades of consultation and preparatory efforts, but finally the tower was closed to the public in January 1990 for a period of about 11 years while corrective reconstruction and stabilisation work was done. The lean of the tower, which had become excessive, was corrected by removing 38 cubic metres of soil from underneath the raised end. It is expected that the tower will remain stable for another 300 years.
No. Italian engineers have worked on it to stop the lean and it is watched for any movement. I think they have a person on site who makes sure that there is no change. For several years people couldn't go inside and walk to the top, but now they can again.

You rope it in the direction, opposite to falling.
Yes, and the government of Italy keeps working on it so it won't fall. Many things have been tried through the years to stop the lean. Some have helped while others seemed to damage it further. Today, they seem to have stopped the lean a bit.
