Towers of Bologna
Somewhere in an alternative dimension where they’re not fictional, Dagwood is very confused by his sudden boner and Blondie’s dinner guests are scandalized.
At least we know why they’re married now.
So my Age of Empires build strategy was historically accurate
So is fast castle.
Just look what the Normans did to stabilise England.
Clearly the work of wizards.
Steeplejacks, but pretty much the same thing
You laugh, but people who believe the Tartarian Empire conspiracy theory point to this as one of the things lost after the “mud floods” lol.
Obviously they were there to guard the cost-saving but insecurely designed trench leading to the small exhaust port.
Seems like it would be a nightmare to take them down. Demolition back then must have been pretty methodical, taking it apart from the top to bottom.
Look around them. It would have to be like that today too. Too crowded.
Much easier than that: just wait for a while and there won’t be no tower anymore.
Either it falls down on its own or people come around to pick a few bricks and stones to build their own house.
Is this an AI image? Stop that.
I say that because some towers are leaning weirdly, and some windows are very diffused. It’s too low res to be to an “artistic renderin,” and it’s just looks messy (as an image). I’ve seen better renders of the towers of Bologna.
If it’s not AI, I’ll across out the top bir. I’m sorry I’m just super skeptical nowadays.
I’m sure it’s an aerial image from that time
It appears to be a wooden model. The image appeared in this blog post from 2022. At the end of the blog post, there is the wooden model. https://thepastabbatical.substack.com/p/the-towers-of-bologna
Yeah linking to a Wikipedia article.But throwing in random AI art is frustrating. This picture is not on the Wikipedia page.

Sounds like bologna to me.
The present past youtube channel has a video on this: https://youtu.be/ikg3-GQLg3g
Thanks for sharing.
And they were never able to replicate that design for the meat rolls
The only Italian town of towers I recognize is “San Gimignano”. Shoutout to AC2.
Visited Bologna about 8 years ago and visited these towers. There was a ton of supports at the base to keep it from falling down and even then it was still leaning pretty hard.
I met some Italians that doesn’t care about it and think it’s a waste of money.
Did we have an Assassin’s Creed about that?
There’s San Gimignano left of you want to get a real life feel of how it was. The town lies on an important route and local families showed off by showing their massive dongs of towers.
Why? Protection? Cooling?
“I’m heterosexual BTW”
