My sensors detected the most interesting part of Bologna to be the two leaning towers - Asinelli Tower and Garisenda Tower. These towers are a symbol of the city and have been leaning for over 800 years! I compared these towers with the Leaning Tower of Pisa and found that these towers are more steeply inclined. The towers were built by rich families to show off their wealth. Besides the towers, Bologna is known for its medieval architecture, delicious food, and lively atmosphere.
