		Though the throng of tourists drawn by the Italian tower's odd slant have proven a potent economic force in Tuscany, the unknown architect of the campanile, or bell tower, probably did not set out to attract them.
		The white marble tower was to be the third structure in the town's cathedral square, the Campo dei Miracoli.
		If "the campanile's architect had not chosen to follow the schematic and stylistic motifs set down by Buscheto in the cathedral, the Campo dei Miracoli might have been very different place and this great conjunction of monuments might not have been a conjunction at all, but rather a study in discord," he writes.
