You were quite fortunate to get to climb the Asinelli Tower. It is now closed, as is the Garisenda tower AND the P.za di Porta Ravegnana due to concern of imminent collapse of the Asinelli!
WOW! I hope it doesn't! Although everything's falling apart, so it wouldn't surprise me... In that case this would be the best video ever made (and I'm not even that happy with it).
I saw a picture of how these towers looked in Bologna back in the day but I don't get what they would be for if they all are just staircases. What's the point of having a staircase to a single floor up high?
Besides bragging about having the tallest tower? - Literally looking (and shooting) down upon rival familes. - Having a very safe place to store valuable things. - Having a very safe place to lock people into (remember the skycells from GoT? Many of Bologna's towers were used exactly that way for at least part of their history).

Very cool! Thank you for this! :)
My pleasure!
Thank you for this. I just read a news article about these towers. The binaural effects with headphones are great!
Glad you enjoyed. As far as I know, I have the best sound in this genre :D

They had a lot more floors back then.

Gyatt.🌚
11:30 esatto
So annoying people holding up in the vieuwports without using them.
Forgot to put in the offices. Maybe they knew this structure was not strong enough. Impressive since its the first tower in history.
One of the oldest and biggest.
would appreciated this video without all this bloated text in my face.
