The Tower of Pisa does not move more! Art ,News ,Pisa

The tower of Pisa does not move more, and we can not be sure that will make it for the next 300 years! And ‘This is the announcement of Professor Michele Jamiolkowski, a famous psychotherapist who, after lengthy meetings and working sessions, managed to convince the Tower of his state of immovable property and therefore desist from its intention to go around the world (in fact Michael is a professor emeritus of the Politecnico di Torino).

Not only la Torre was convinced not to move more, but also to return to the position that the giovincella held in the 1,700, when its tilt (the overhang) was only 3 meters and 99 centimeters, compared to 4 meters and 47 centimeters that the birichina had reached in 1993.

All this work of recovery and restoration has brought with it a fruit that will make the joy of all visitors, between three months when you can access from the small port of entry, will look again at the top can see all seven arcades and the sky. I would add that even if it were evening, certainly we return in mind the verses of the Supreme:

Salimmo up, the first and second I,
both ch’i ‘de saw things beautiful

leading ‘l ciel, for a pertugio round.

So uscimmo a riveder the stars.

One sees that the average tourist goes to Las Vegas for fun and just, and indeed fun than those shares not missing. In effettisecondo me, rather than the city of sin, the Sin City of America is nothing but a huge playground where we especially enjoys participating, or even witnessing the “excesses”, allle americanate, we know so well for having seen in films and magazines and television that we receive from overseas.

And the Venetian, which operates as Resort, Hotel and Casino is an example, because who if not for an American could come to mind to build in America, and in the middle of the desert, the city that lives on and on ‘ water from the sea and drew its strength and beauty? I assure you, however, that if for a day disappears in a hotel all our European culture (including prejudices), and we are unable to leave the climate of the city, the fun is assured.
