The Italian city of Bologna closes off the area around the two towers Garisenda and Asinelli.
Francesca Tomba had sounded the alarm a few months ago, but no one had listened to the monument curator.
Now things look different: due to unusual readings in the area around the two medieval dynasty towers Garisenda and Asinelli in Bologna, the streets around the city’s landmarks are closed.

They have been leaning for some time, but now there is a risk that road traffic and other vibrations will worsen the cracks already present in the tower. The experts do not fear a collapse, but rocks could become loose and fall down.
That is why the city wants to find out how vibrations around the towers can be minimized. Until then, they will remain closed to visitors.
They also want to clarify why previous warnings were ignored. The repairs would have cost five million euros at the time. Now the costs are much higher.
