UN-VERTICAL VENICE
1902 THE LEANING TOWER OF ST MARKS
Rome wasn’t built in a day, but Venice’s ancient architecture was destroyed in one. After 1,000 years of standing tall, St Mark’s Campanile was floored on 14 July 1902 when a crack shook down its north face. Somehow, the disaster claimed the life of only one victim – the caretaker’s cat. A replica was erected for St Mark’s Day, 10 years later.
