RIO DE JANEIRO/BUENOS AIRES (Sputnik) – Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has called the legendary Leaning Tower of Pisa the "Pizza Tower".
"I have recently been to Italy... visited the Pizza Tower", Bolsonaro said during a 5G technology launch ceremony.
He pronounced the sound "ts" instead of "z" from the word "Pisa".
This mistake has already triggered a wave of memes on social networks.
