The Garisenda Tower is one of the most iconic symbols of the city of Bologna. Located in the heart of the historic center, it has witnessed centuries of history and has fascinated visitors and scholars from all over the world. This medieval tower, 48 meters high, is known for its inclination, which has made it a unique point of reference in the Italian architectural panorama. Built in the 12th century, the Tower is now of concern due to the conditions of potential collapse in which it finds itself.

Below, we will analyze the structure of the Garisenda Tower, the activities of the Technical-Scientific Committees (CTS) for Conservation and the monitoring system adopted. Furthermore, we will report the suitable solutions and guidelines for the technical design of the necessary interventions, identified by the CTS.
