On the pan ultimate floor of the San Geremia Tower, just under the belfry we found a stress gauge spanning a large crack on the wall next to the staircase. The gauge was measure the sheer force, or the force of the tower ripping itself apart along the crack. The gauge is used to determine if there is a large amount of force present along the crack and determine if it is under threat to continue to expand and threaten the future integrity of the tower.
