Italians have responded with ridicule after an ISIS supporter referred to the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa landmark as the “learning tower of pizza”.

The ISIS supporting Twitter account belonging to someone identifying as Abu Abdullah Aritani tweeted: “#We_Are_Coming_O_Rome, we will conquer & establish the justice of #shariah. We will use your leaning tower of pizza to throw off homosexual”.

Italians and other Twitter users co-opted the bizarre hashtag #We_Are_Coming_O_Rome to offer the jihadi travel advice for his purported visit to Rome.

Much of the advice featured complaints about the city's municipal government or gripes about its transport network.
