Results of the observations made in the last decade on the Tower of Pisa and on the surrounding monuments give a general picture of the movements of the Tower and allow them to be considered in a more complex and broader context. The measurements concern the settlement of the Tower and of a number of points in the surrounding square, and the piezometric level in the main layers of the subsoil. Since most of the measurements have been carried out by means of instruments installed in 1965 and since their results span over a period long enough to be significant, they complete the observations made since the beginning of this century and allow a deeper insight of the Tower behavior. In particular, possible correlations among the observed phenomena are pointed out.

Abstract
Results of the observations made in the last decade on the Tower of Pisa and on the surrounding monuments give a general picture of the movements of the Tower and allow them to be considered in a more complex and broader context. The measurements concern the settlement of the Tower and of a number of points in the surrounding square, and the piezometric level in the main layers of the subsoil. Since most of the measurements have been carried out by means of instruments installed in 1965 and since their results span over a period long enough to be significant, they complete the observations made since the beginning of this century and allow a deeper insight of the Tower behavior. In particular, possible correlations among the observed phenomena are pointed out.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
