In practice， many experts studied fully the whole history of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and also the building materials， structure， geology， water and other aspects， and used a variety of advanced equipment for testing. The ancient history scholar， Professor Piluo Di， believed that every piece of brick was of high quality， and the bonding in the bricks was so ingenious that it prevented effectively the fracture caused by the leaning tower. It is a factor of leaning but not falling down.
Of course， the people who care mostly for the fate of the Leaning Tower of Pisa are the people of Pisa. Even though they are worried about it， they are proud that there is a building in their hometown that can be comparable with the world famous buildings. They believe that it will never fall down. They have the word： The Leaning Tower of Pisa is as strong as the man of Pisa， and will never fall down."
比萨斜塔建筑群是建筑师们用虔诚的心雕刻出来的。
它修建于1173年，由著名建筑师那诺·皮萨诺主持修建。开始时，塔高设计为100米左右，但动工五六年后，塔身从三层开始倾斜，皮萨诺不敢再建下去了。
近百年后，建筑师迪·西摩内接手续建，可惜建到七层时，撒手人寰。一天，建筑师托马索·皮萨诺来塔下散步，他认为可以续建，在他的构思中还可利用最高层对塔身进行些许矫正，只要让最高层稍稍偏离塔的中心线就行了。就这样经过三代建筑师177年的努力，1350年这座50多米的斜塔才得以呈现在世人面前。
专家认为，只要不出现不可抗拒的自然因素，经过修复的比萨斜塔，300年内将不会倒塌。虽然斜塔一直是处在摇摇欲坠的状态之下，比萨的市民却无比钟爱斜塔，护斜塔的精神又为斜塔添上了一笔永恒的色彩。
在实际工作中，许多有关专家对比萨斜塔的全部历史以及塔的建筑材料、结构、地质、水源和其他方面进行充分的研究，并采用各种先进的仪器设备进行测试。比萨中古史学家皮洛迪教授研究后认为，建造塔身的每一块石砖都是一块石雕佳品，石砖与石砖间的粘合极为巧妙，有效地防止了塔身倾斜引起的断裂，成为斜塔斜而不倒的一个因素。
当然，最关心斜塔命运的自然是比萨人，尽管他们也对斜塔的倾斜感到担忧，但更多的是骄傲和自豪，为自己的故乡拥有一个可与世界上著名建筑媲美的斜塔而感到自豪。他们坚信它不会倒下，他们有这样一句俗语，比萨塔像比萨人一样健壮结实，永远不会倒下去。
The Famous Galileo Free Fall Experiment 著名的伽利略自由落体实验
In 1583， the Italian physicist Galileo noted a hanging lamp swinging in the cathedral of Pisa. When he went home， he used a hanging copper ball to do simulation experiments which demonstrated that the tiny swing was isochronous and the length of pendulum has effect on the cycle. Then he created a pulse meter for the measure of short time intervals. The invention of clocks were also benefited.
In 1590， Galileo proved a great discovery in the Leaning Tower again. He did the free fall experiment on the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Two ball of different weight dropped from the same height at the same time， and they landed at the same time. He discovered the law of free fall， and overturned Aristotle"s theory that heavy object would first reach the ground and the speed of falling body was proportional to its mass.
1583年，意大利物理学家伽利略在比萨大教堂里做礼拜时注意到一盏悬灯的摆动，回家后他用线悬铜球做模拟实验，证明了微小摆动的等时性以及摆长对周期的影响，由此创制出脉搏计用来测量短时间间隔，而钟表的发明也得益于这个发现。
1590年，伽利略又在斜塔验证了他的一个伟大的发现，他曾在比萨斜塔上做自由落体实验，将两个重量不同的球体从相同的高度同时扔下，结果两个铅球同时落地，由此发现了自由落体定律，推翻了此前亚里士多德认为的重的物体会先到达地面，落体的速度同它的质量成正比的观点。
