Thursday 18 January 2001, 12: 45 Edited by Sabrina Carollo, Artonline PISA. The tower of Pisa, "that leans and leans and never falls down" will soon be redelivered to the city and to the whole world. The counterweights of lead that balanced it have been removed in the presence of minister Melandri who has expressed ample satisfaction, straight ahead to the completion in March. The work of consolidation of the ground has given convincing results sufficient to allow anticipation of the dismantlement of the structures restraining the movement of the monument. After ten years of studies, work and fears, the tower seems now to have finally reached conditions of stability and safety. In June the grand reopening of the monument is scheduled for the public, as the Minister of Public Works Nesi had promised. The committee of professor Michele Jamiolkowski has practically concluded the intervention that, after years of debates and fears, has revealed itself correct. Now will be settled whether the access to the tower for part of the visitors will be free as in the past or conditioned. |
