A bold tribute to the Leaning Tower and Maritime Republic on the Arno where Pisa, the ancient city on the lower Arno in Tuscany that was one of the four great Maritime Republics of medieval Italy alongside Venice, Amalfi, and Genoa, is known the world over for the Torre di Pisa, the freestanding bell tower of the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta whose construction began in 1173 and whose famous lean, caused by soft ground on one side subsiding during construction, developed gradually over the following two centuries to reach its maximum tilt of 3.99 degrees after straightening works completed in 2001, making the Leaning Tower one of the most recognizable structures in the world and Pisa's Piazza dei Miracoli, the Field of Miracles where the Cathedral, the Baptistery, the Camposanto, and the Leaning Tower stand together in a UNESCO World Heritage ensemble of white marble Romanesque splendour on the green lawn, one of the supreme architectural compositions in Italy, and where Galileo Galilei, born in Pisa in 1564, reputedly conducted his famous experiments on the rate of gravitational fall from the top of the tower, connecting Pisa to the birth of the modern scientific method.
