That Tower is called "Asinelli", from the name of Gherardo Asinelli, that once commissioned the construction (1119).
The tower on the left is called "Garisenda".

A view from the inside:

498 steps, 97,20 meters.

I made the climb 2 times, when I was young, agile and fearless… but not with the denim in mind!
If you assure me that's "great for the denim", I could make a third attempt... with my 666XHS!

Phew, looks amazing!  I’m not great in high buildings, get vertigo, but if it’s not too crowded I will give it a go.  I know Giles will definitely want to climb to the top.  Am so excited about our long weekend in Bologna, only 9 days before we leave!

In december is a climbing for real men.

the only thing that is f… Paula, is that the steps are from way way back in the days...small wooden steps...
gives an extra "special" feeling
but the view is worthed...

[georgeel]

Yeah, something like the Sagrada Familia in Barcellona. The feeling of becoming part of the view… in a flash.

An unusual view of Bologna:

like Venice…

... but only in the photograph, to be honest!
