They didn't even look at
the Tower, /" says the old guide
sadly. 81 somehow got the

other guide named Agos Castelh
told me. Animals don't seem to trust
the place. Once in a while some lone
wolf pigeon roosts with us for a
spell. Most birds, though, seem to
consider us a scarecrow."
Only one visitor in modern times
had the niehtmarish experience OF
being trapped inside the crooked silo
after dark. He was a Swiss tourist
who did not happen to hear the clos
ine-time warning. That night the
shostly silence overhanging the an
Gent Piazza del Duomo was broken
by a series Of loud and plaintiVe
yodels. The spine-tinglins yowls came

around their moonlit obelisk. Around
midnight, a Waterman showed up
with a key and opened the door. A
wide-eyed, paSty-faced wreck Of a
man stumbled out, listing perceptibly
to starboard as he tottered towards
the railroad station.
The question Of what made the
Tower take off on a tangent away
back in the Middle Ages is still sur
rounded in mystery and Superstitious
legend. For many years Pisans as well
as experts from abroad, felt its archi-
tects planned it that way as sort Of
grandstand play to dazzle their col
leagues. One Of the two architects, at
any rate, seemed TO have certain
flamboyant traits we sometimes con-
meet with phones. He called himself
Giovanni the Omnipotent.
Giovanni, who shares the glory or
shame Of spawning the Tower Of Pisa
with fellow named Bonnano, was a
hunchback. A French antiquarian
claims that Giovanni made the tower

Towards evening, our notebooks

sadly prepared to leave the stout
hearted landmark. And as the sun
and the Leaning Tower sank in the
West, we devoutly hoped that the
Italian government would soon tackle
the job Of putting their wonderful
monument back in tiptop shape.

Modern students, however, don't
believe the slant was deliberate. They
are sure that it was due to the regions
marshy, unstable soil and the original
architects lack of foresight in not
sinking the foundations deep enough.
The city of Pisa abounds with proof
of this theory: at least two other
ancient towers - which were not
the GRANDCHILDREN of Giovanni the
Omnipotent - have been sagging at
drunken angles for centuries. But
they're ugly ducklingS. So nobody
paws any attention to them.

From its size and shape some

seen in an Indian raiah's court

The Orloff story follows t h e

to have stolen it from the eye
of a Hindu god in a Mysore

acts of violence it reached AM

lied Russian courtier, Prince
