Italy is famous worldwide for its falling tower. When you look at the Italian Leaning Tower of Pisa, you feel like it's about to fall ... However, it's a false impression. According to witnesses at the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Galileo Galileo conducted his scientific research, which allowed him to make some discoveries. For example, the law of free fall.
