salvalasilvia The Two Towers, "Le due torri", both of them leaning, are the symbol of Bologna, and probably the most prominent one. Until 1919, there were actually 5 towers in this square. Bologna was always known as the city of towers, “La Turrita”, as over the centuries, particularly between the 12th and the 13th century, the city had possibly over 200 towers.Almost all them were tall (the highest being 97 m), defensive stone towers. There are now 25 towers left without counting the hundreds of bell towers in the city.The taller one of the pair is called the Asinelli while the smaller but more leaning tower is called the Garisenda. Their names derive from the families which are traditionally credited with constructing them between 1109 and 1119.The Asinelli Tower was used by the scientists Giovanni Battista Riccioli (in 1640) and Giovanni BattistaGuglielmini (in the following century) for experiments to study the motion of heavy bodies and the earth rotation. Bologna’s towers were cited several times by Dante in the Divine Comedy and The Rhymes (a confirmation of his stay in Bologna), and by Goethe in his Italian Journey. The Two Towers have also been the subject of an eponymous poem by Giosuè Carducci as part of the Barbarian Odes. Charles Dickens wrote about the towers in his Pictures from Italy.In World War II, between 1943 and 1945, it was used as a sight post: during bombing attacks, four volunteers took post at the top to direct rescue operations to places hit by Allied bombs.Later, a RAI television relay was installed on top.Architect Minor Yamasaki is thought to have been inspired by the Towers when designing the World Trade Center during the 1960s.

coldwarAurorata is a private property, so it is not open to the public, but can eat in the restaurant here, very expensive. Walking down this street is an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery, on the side of Fergina, the new part of the village and the largest beach, as well as the historic village of Monte Oso and a small but beautiful beach.

旅の径The tilt of the Leaning Tower of Pisa is 4 degrees, and the tilt of the Leaning Tower of St. Moritz is5.5 degrees, but because it is much shorter than the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the shock of the Leaning Tower of St. Moritz is much inferior. As a landmark of St. Moritz, the Leaning Tower has watched the changes and vicissitudes of the small city for hundreds of years, looking at the people coming and going in the neighborhood, the sunrise and sunset in the valley, the freezing of the lake~ Watching the Leaning Tower, you must find a good perspective and reference. Because the spire tilts north, it is difficult to experience the tilt of the tower on the street facing the tower (south), and turn to the side~the beauty is in front of you.

游游ddTorredell’ Orologio St. Mark’s Cathedral is to the left of the clock tower, which reads in Latin inscription: “I count only happy times.” Two conspicuous bronze statues of the Moors covered in dark green rust. Legend has it that the Venetians blinded the clock tower clock makers in case they created the same work for rival cities. The film Space City was filmed here. The copper man on the right seemed to be broken and didn't move much when the clock was ringing. The flying lion below is a symbol of Venice, which can be seen in many places.
