Giotto’s bell tower, a Renaissance landmark in Florence’s Piazza Duomo, is set for an $8.2 million restoration, its first full overhaul in more than 600 years. Over the next five years, technicians will clean marble surfaces and secure loose slabs while using phased scaffolding to keep the 280-foot tower visible. The project is part of a wider conservation effort that aims to preserve Florentine heritage while easing overtourism in the city’s historic center.
The mighty Tyrannosaurus rex, long believed to have had “earthshaking footsteps,” actually “walked on tippy toes,” said The New York Times. By examining fossilized tracks and the lower leg anatomy of different T. rex skeletons, researchers reconstructed the dinosaur’s gait and found that it moved by rapidly swinging its legs, rather than taking big steps. “It would resemble being chased by an oversized bird,” said project lead Adrian Boeye, a student at Maine’s College of the Atlantic.
