The Pisan Cross

The Pisan Cross is the symbol of Pisa. It was the coat of arms of the people of Pisa: the symbol of the cross was granted, in fact, to Pisans by Pope Benedict VIII to fight Saracens in Sardinia in 1017.

The final story is the bell chamber itself, which has 16 arches. There is a 297 step spiral staircase inside the tower leading to the top. The top of the leaning tower of Pisa is about 17 feet off the vertical.

Yes, some attempts were made to correct the tower's lean.

Benito Mussolini, Italy's prime minister from 1922-1943, ordered the Leaning Tower of Pisa to be returned to a vertical position, so concrete was poured into its foundation. The results were unexpected and sank the tower further into the soft soil.

The tower was in serious danger of toppling completely by 1964, so 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.

Much of the success of this enterprise can be attributed to British Professor John Burland, emeritus professor of soil engineering at Imperial College London. His analysis of the lean and how to fix it is detailed in the article at the related weblink below.

The Italian front was fought mainly between Italy (of course) and Austria-Hungary, in the mountains north of Venice, Italy. Their allies also fought, but in comparatively smaller numbers.

Milan has a rich economy based on fashion,commerce,business, and banking. Rome hosts major international and worldwide political and cultural organizations. Naples has a high unemployment rate and is based in organized crime.

There are no rooms in the tower. It is a bell tower built in 1173 and on sandy soil. Before it was finished it was leaning.

I don’t know I was looking on this to find the answer :)

It's extremely rare; I have never seen snow in Naples because the city has a mediterranean climate, but I'm sure in the past it might have snowed

the St. Basil's cathedral was built in 1555.

i have visited the leaning tower of Pisa myself and yes it has changed in time. it used to be a falling tower but now it is a great historic landmark.

when it started falling they put cement and pavement around it and named it a major landmark. when you go up it you automically go to one side it is an amazing experience. They said though in 2020 something it is believed to fall completely over which will be a big shame!

i hope i helped!

The Cathedral in the middle of the square, founded on 1064, was the proof of the power of Pisa in the Middle Ages.

It was dedicated to the Assumption of St.Mary and the tower is part of the church, like the big Baptistery dedicated to St.John or the cemetery called "Campo Santo".

The Cathedral, that being the main church of the city in Italian language is known as the "Duomo", it is also a Primatial church, being the archbishop of Pisa the Primate of Sardinia and Corsica.

The whole area it is called "Piazza del Duomo" (Cathedral square) although people tend to call it "piazza dei miracoli" (square of the miracles) after a poetical expression by Italian poet Gabriele D'Annunzio (1910).

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is leaning 3.97 degrees to the Southeast.

Yes, the Mediterranean Sea is north of the Equator.

Italy, surrounded by branches of the Mediterranean Sea, had a great number of ports for shipping, making it a center of great importance to all of southern Europe.

i want to know how the leaning tower of Pisa is protected today? and when and why the site was listed/ thank you

There are actually four, but the three main ones are the Adriatic Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Tyrrenenian Sea.

Romans intermarried with the nearby tribes in Italy. Thus if you lived in Italy sooner or later a family member might be a Roman soldier or citizen. Eventually they all became one people, the Roman People.

No, Switzerland and Austria come inbetween.

Normally wine, pizza, coffee, ice cream, football, colloseums and romans.

(Thats a bad answer isn't it!)

Italy does not border any ocean. The nearest ocean is the Atlantic Ocean, but Italy does not border it. It borders a number of seas, which are part of the Mediterranean Sea.

Italian nationalists wanted to unite small kingdoms and the Papal States into a single nation-state, while Japanese nationalists hoped to instil pride in citizens who already lived in the same country.
