The Famous Garisenda Tower in Bologna Is Too Leaning!
No, it's not in Pisa—an Italian leaning tower is back at it! Instead, it's Bologna's Garisenda Tower, which has been closed off by authorities due to concerns over its collapse, along with the important piazza that sits next to it. These "twin towers," which are only a few meters away from the considerably taller Asinelli Tower (which is twice as tall), are iconic images of the city that have stood the test of time. The Garisenda has been 4 degrees slanted for centuries. However, "traces of unexpected rotation" in the incline have been discovered in recent inspections, prompting an immediate closure for "years."

The Atlantic slave trade
The Atlantic slave trade, spanning from the late 15th to the mid-19th century and touching three continents, forcibly transported over 10 million Africans to the Americas. This historical atrocity left an indelible mark on those enslaved, their descendants, and the economic and cultural fabric of large parts of the world. It all began with Portuguese colonies in West Africa and the subsequent Spanish colonization of the Americas. The demand for labour to cultivate labour-intensive crops like sugar, tobacco, and cotton outstripped the supply of European settlers and indentured servants. Native Americans were initially enslaved but succumbed to new diseases, and others resisted, prompting the Europeans to turn to Africa.
