this tower was build to show the wealth in the town, but when the war with Florence they spent all there money in the war buying stuff for people who where fighting, they lost all there money. now people all around the world are coming to see the leaning tower of Pisa

How can we help to make the leaning tower of Pisa satnd up proparly?
The Leaning Tower of Pisa, was stabilized (and the tilt partially corrected) by the Italians in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. It is such a tourist attraction that it is unlikely it will ever stand perfectly upright.
Why does the leaning tower of pisa lean?
The Leaning Tower Of Pisa was built on unsteady soil, which made it lean shortly after it's constructionThe foundation was off so when it was built it leaned to a side. They dug the foundation 10 feet down, but didn't reach bedrock, and therefore did not have a stable footing. It leans approximately 0.2 more each year. As of the current, it leans about 17 feet now.The Leaning Tower of Pisa is leaning because when they first built it the floor wasn't stable and the bottom of the building collapsed. Hope this answered your question:)The Tower of Pisa began leaning shortly after its construction. The undersized foundation was improperly laid and the substrate on which that foundation was set down did not properly support it. The ground shifted and the tower began to lean and also to settle, and this was after the foundation was laid and the first three floors were erected. This was before the year 1200, and the tower still stands (but with help). Wikipedia has more information, and a link to their post can be found below.The tower's tilt began during construction, caused by an inadequate foundation on ground too soft on one side to properly support the structure's weight. The tilt increased in the decades before the structure was completed, and gradually increased until the structure was stabilized (and the tilt partially corrected) by efforts in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.It started to slant when it was only half way built, as it is built on soft sand. For its entire life it has been maintained at a slant as a curiosity and tourist attraction.Because it was built on soft ground that squished a bit under the weight of the tower. It's leaning b/c one side squished more than the other.Because it's built partially on soft ground, and the weight of the structure is causing one side to sink - therefore it leans.The tower began to sink after construction had progressed to the third floor in 1178. This was due to a mere three-meter foundation, set in weak, unstable subsoil, a design that was flawed from the beginning.Tower of Pisa leans sideways because it was built on unstable soil. In 1173 construction started on the 180-foot bell tower, which is located in Pisa, a small town in the Italian province of Tuscany. The building began to lean as soon as the first three floors were completed. Nevertheless, building continued and the seven-story structure was finished between 1360 and 1370. The tower leans a little bit more each year and was closed for repairs in 1990, when it was leaning fourteen and one-half feet to one side. Engineers worked to stabilize the foundation, straightening the tower only slightly to help prevent irreparable damage without taking away the uniqueness of the structure.er's characteristic angle has attracted thousands of visitors to Pisa throught ages.............................................................................The Tower of Pisa leans sideways because it was built on unstable soil.

Did anyone try to fix the Leaning Tower of Pisa to make it stop leaning?
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.
Why is the Leaning Tower of Pisa important to the Italians?
It attracts lots of tourists. It is famous for being the place where Galileo dropped two weights from the top, to demonstrate that things of different weight drop at the same speed unless air resistance skews the results. This is a nice story, but totally untrue.
What is holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa?
In the same manner it was supported when it was constructed. But it has gotten some "help" over the years. In the last couple of decades, the responsible parties rolled up their sleeves and removed something approaching 40 meters3 of earth from under the higher side of the structure. This had the effect of straightening it toward the verticle by about a foot and a half at the top. For the first time in its history, it is no longer moving. And also in the good-news corner of the paper is that it's open to the public again. Also, the folks who lived near the tower in the direction it was leaning have returned to their homes and don't have to sleep with an eye and an ear open. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on this engineering point of interest.
Why doesnt to Leaning Tower of Pisa fall?
The tower hasn’t hit the ground yet because its tapered and slightly curved shape keeps its center of gravity fairly low. That means it can tip quite a bit before toppling.In a more poetic sense, though, the tower was falling over for a long time—albeit very slowly. Its tilt, which was first noticed shortly after construction began in 1173, kept increasing until 1990. That’s when engineers declared that, at a tilt of more than five degrees, it was in danger of collapsing. A team then figured out how to correct the lean, bringing it back to a safe angle.Since then, it’s been getting straighter, believe it or not. The residual effects from the construction meant the angle had decreased another four centimeters by 2018.
