Bologna's Leaning Tower is set to be saved as the city announces a €4

Officials have announced plans to repair one of the two 12th-century towers in the Italian city of Bologna, after the area around it had to be secured last month over fears its leaning could lead to collapse.

The city said the €4.3m (£3.7m) project to support the Garisenda tower - one of the Two Towers overlooking the center of Bologna, providing inspiration over the centuries for painters and poets and a lookout during conflicts - will go ahead in January and February.

The city's mayor, Matteo Lepore, noted in a debate earlier this month that the Garisenda tower had been leaning since it was built "and has been a concern ever since." 

It suffered additional damage in the medieval era.

Work to strengthen both towers has been ongoing since the 1990s. Preliminary work on the Garisenda tower will include the creation of a containment zone to prevent any damage to nearby structures or injury to passersby./ CNA
