All they can do is stand up straight. Only Piza has a banana-shaped campanile (above the bottom couple of floors, every floor is taller on one side than the other, so the whole tower curves gently inwards).
I have been to Pisa and have seen the leaning tower. Apparently, they are trying to do something to keep it from leaning any further. Hope it works, because that tower is such an Icon for Pisa.

And where do the tourists (and their money) go? How many others can you name?

It was going to fall over, but they dug out enough dirt from the foundation to straighten it up to tilted.

The ones that stand straight don’t get much attention though.

Gee, I just thought of an idea to fix the tower, get a Drill Instructor to yell “Ten hut”. I wonder why nobody thought of that before?

If a leaning tower is something to be admired, we should be downright proud of our politicians…
