Cilavegna, campanile muto dopo 200 anni (causa restauri): gli abitanti hanno nostalgia delle campane

Local news often reports residents complaining to the parish priest about the ringing of the bells, which they consider excessively loud. The latest case occurred in Cassolnovo, where someone even wrote to the mayor asking for action. However, the opposite is also true: in Lomellina, a town is deeply nostalgic for the bells. In Cilavegna, for the first time in over 200 years, the bell tower is empty: the bells have been taken for restoration and will not return until a month later. Residents are eagerly awaiting the bells, as they were their point of reference. The time, the start of Mass, funerals—all information that, in these towns, still comes from the church bells.
