In the same manner it was supported when it was constructed. But it has gotten some "help" over the years. In the last couple of decades, the responsible parties rolled up their sleeves and removed something approaching 40 meters3 of earth from under the higher side of the structure. This had the effect of straightening it toward the verticle by about a foot and a half at the top. For the first time in its history, it is no longer moving. And also in the good-news corner of the paper is that it's open to the public again. Also, the folks who lived near the tower in the direction it was leaning have returned to their homes and don't have to sleep with an eye and an ear open. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on this engineering point of interest.
The tower's foundations support the tower. Over the years these foundations have had to be stabilised by the injection of special compounds to prevent them moving further. Indeed during this process of stabilisation, some of the towers lean was reduced to make it safer.
I think we should study the kind of soil who caught this beautiful tower who is one of my dream to see it, and the effect of the gravity in that place
