Galileo’s Tower in Arceti Sapped for Cafes and Scaffolding
A Florence dispatch says Galileo’s Star Tower is being altered by scaffolding and added windows to become a cafe and restaurant. The change has sparked protests over the loss of a historic monument linked to Milton’s meeting with Galileo and a landmark near Florence. Nearby Verona’s Juliet balcony house is crumbling, with only the facade perhaps remaining and Capulet arms still displayed.
