Asinelli Tower and its collection
Source
Among the many towers that were built, the Asinelli and Garisenda towers are the two most famous ones that still stand today. The Asinelli tower, the taller of the two, stands at a height of 97.6 meters. Originally, it was not more than 60 meters tall but was later extended. The Garisenda tower, on the other hand, measures 48 meters. It was originally 60 meters tall but was shortened in the 14th century due to the ground on which it was built giving way.
The Asinelli Tower During the Second World War
The Asinelli tower has not only been a symbol of power and prestige, but it has also served practical purposes. During the Second World War, the tower was used as an observation point. Volunteers would station themselves at the top of the tower during Allied bombings to indicate to rescue services where the bombs had hit.
