The Italians had to buttress the foundation as well, because it was getting worse.

The work they’ve done to keep it up (but still leaning on purpose) is impressive and some of it is visible at the site. Notice the curvature of the construction, it started leaning during construction.

Though I have to say I was more taken with the Duomo nearby.

The place of the leaning cylinder -- the birthplace of Galileo.

What a great mnemonic.
