Daughter Holly told Newsweek: "She said afterwards that she was just being individual rather than following the social norm."
PISA, ITALY – A recent viral video from the iconic Leaning Tower of Pisa has captured the internet's attention, showcasing a humorous generational gap in understanding the classic tourist photo pose. The video, shared by TikTok user @holpols1, features a young woman demonstrating the popular illusion of "holding up" the famous leaning structure. However, the subsequent clip shows her mother's enthusiastic, yet slightly off-kilter, attempt. The daughter, seen expertly positioning herself to appear as if she is preventing the tower from falling, contrasts sharply with her mother's approach. In the video, the mother is observed with her hands extended, seemingly pushing the tower further over rather than supporting it. A voice, presumably the daughter's, can be heard playfully remarking, "You are pushing it over though, you're not holding it up." The mother, undeterred, responds with a cheerful, "No, that's right!" This lighthearted exchange has resonated with viewers, many of whom have experienced similar photo-taking challenges at popular landmarks. The video serves as a reminder of the fun and occasional miscommunications that can arise during family travels.
