Leaning Tower of Pisa May Fall by 2100, Doctor Warns
Historian Dr Lorenzo Pispisa notes the Leaning Tower of Pisa is not in immediate danger but projects a possible collapse within about 150 years due to natural deterioration unless restoration extends its life. The tower, begun in 1174, has a long history of inclines and restorations, with recent surveys confirming stability for now.

Taylor recounts mid century efforts by Prof Fleury and architect Della Gerardesca to study and excavate the Tower in Pisa. Ground consolidation by Prof Girometti included cement injections, with a network of tunnels and nearly one ton of liquid cement. During World War II the 5th Army faced Germans near the Arno, shells fell near the Tower and the postwar tilt measured seven tenths of a millimeter.
