Ave Maria di Lourdes - Campane Parrocchia Beata Vergine Maria del Rosario - Pescara ABRUZZO

In this video I'm in Pescara, an Italian town that is the capital of the homonymous province in Abruzzo, precisely in the parish church dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary of the Rosary. It was built to replace the old church of the Rosary, in via dei Bastioni, destroyed in 1943. In 1951 Monsignor Benedetto Falcucci wanted to build a first chapel dedicated to the Virgin of the Rosary in the north of the expanding city, precisely in Piazza Duca degli Abruzzi. Subsequently the actual church was built by the architect Goffredo Triboletti and inaugurated in 1957. The building respects the classic canons of the rectangular-plan church. The bell tower was completed in 1987. The imposing facade appears divided into several parts with a schematization of the volumes. The entrance volume, accessible by a staircase, is characterized by three portals that delimit in height a first covering in rectangular stone blocks. The upper part of the facade set back from the entrance volume, reproduces the internal division into three naves. It is characterized by a central part of considerable size, closed by a gable roof and covered with red bricks interspersed with bands of white stone; among these there are narrow polychrome windows. Laterally, the volumes of the two smaller naves appear lower, with a flat roof and a brick cladding arranged to reproduce a coffered facade. The internal plan has three naves divided into three bays. The trapezoidal presbytery is preceded by a staircase and four arches, which gradually detach from the side walls. On the walls there are three large inlaid windows, representing the mysteries of the Holy Rosary. Two windows open at the base of the roof in correspondence with the spans. The entrance is surmounted by the choir with a balustrade decorated with a mosaic. The bell tower has a soaring tower and contains a concert of 9 bells cast by the Capanni Foundry of Castelnovo ne 'Monti between 1988 and 2004. The 7 major ones are electrified in momentum and the 2 minor ones fixed. The plant and the dials of the watches are by Capanni. In the video we see the melody of the Ave Maria of Lourdes, on the bells II, V, VI, VII, VIII and IX, performed as a weekday Angelus. Bells notes: IX - MIb4 (located inside the bell tower below); VIII - REb4 (located inside the bell tower below); VII - DO4 (located on the left side); VI - SIb3 (located on the facade side above the bell); V - LAb3 (located on the back side above the third); IV - SOLb3 (located on the right side); III - FA3 (located on the back side under the fifth); II - MIb3 (located high inside the bell tower); I - REb3 (located on the facade side under the sixth). Good vision! We recommend using headphones for more accurate listening.
