The medieval tower of the Garisenda in Bologna, a symbol of the city, is now causing concern due to the testimony of scientists that it is in danger of collapsing and tilting. Anomalies were detected inside the tower due to the use of ultra-sensitive equipment. Despite the unusual inclination, there is no threat to life or health, but the Bologna authorities have decided to close access to the tower and the surrounding streets in order to ensure the safety of citizens and tourists.

Garisenda Tower, along with its "twin" Torre degli Asinelli, are notable medieval buildings of the city, which were aimed at displaying wealth and power. They have become symbols of Bologna, and they date back to the XII century.

The tower is planned to be restored using funds from the common fund for the restoration of Italy.
