Pisa Flights

• The Leaning Tower of Pisa
  One of the most famous cases of architectural malpractice in the world, the leaning tower of Pisa still stands, defying both gravity and the efforts of high-tech structural rescue teams to stop its slow drift towards a horizontal position.
• Teatro Verdi
  One of the main centres of cultural life in a city that lives and breathes culture, the Teatro Verdi hosts ballet and theatre performances, concerts, opera and a wide range of related activities, such as seminars, lectures and workshops, for 300 days a year.
