A little more perspective

Visit Tuscany lists the tower’s height as 56 meters and its inclination as approximately four degrees. The illustration retains the lean and uses the visible architectural base as its starting reference. It is not a straightened 56-meter cylinder.

The operator also publishes a different 58.36-meter total without an equivalent datum in the accessible description. I do not substitute that figure for the rounded above-ground reference or infer additional foundation depth. Small differences between the high and low edges of the tilted top remain below this rounded precision.
