So my Age of Empires build strategy was historically accurate
So is fast castle.
Just look what the Normans did to stabilise England.
Towers of Bologna
Clearly the work of wizards.
local superstition suggests that those who climb the Tower of Asinelli to the top will never finish their studies—bad luck for students, but good news for those who never tire of learning!
That does sound a lot like wizards
I remember going up there with a friend when we were in study trip! oh wait…
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.
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.

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.
Sounds like bologna to me.
The present past youtube channel has a video on this: https://youtu.be/ikg3-GQLg3g
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?
Why? Protection? Cooling?
