The Tower of Pisa appears in Noodle Around The World. In the episode, Tobe attempts to push the tower over in order to flatten Garu, but is thwarted by Pucca who pushes it over the other way and then up straight, much to the distress of the locals. Chef Alberto, grieving for the "ruined" structure, presses against it again which puts it once more into its characteristic lean.

In History[]

The Leaning Tower of Pisa (Italian: Torre pendente di Pisa), or simply the Tower of Pisa (Torre di Pisa), is the campanile, or freestanding bell tower, of the cathedral of the Italian city of Pisa. It is situated behind the Cathedral and is the third oldest structure in Pisa's Cathedral Square (Piazza del Duomo) after the Cathedral and the Baptistry.

The height of the tower is 55.86 m (183.27 ft) from the ground on the low side and 56.70 m (186.02 ft) on the high side. The width of the walls at the base is 4.09 m (13.42 ft) and at the top 2.48 m (8.14 ft). Its weight is estimated at 14,500 metric tons (16,000 short tons). The tower has 296 or 294 steps; the seventh floor has two fewer steps on the north-facing staircase. Prior to restoration work performed between 1990 and 2001, the tower leaned at an angle of 5.5 degrees,[1][2][3] but the tower now leans at about 3.99 degrees.[4] This means that the top of the tower is displaced horizontally 3.9 metres (12 ft 10 in) from where it would be if the structure were perfectly vertical.[5]
