Le campane della Cattedrale di Verona - Ognissanti 2024

The bell tower of Verona Cathedral is one of the most famous in Italy, as there is still a team of twenty bell ringers who regularly ring the bells during festivals. The enormous tower was rebuilt after the disastrous earthquake of the 12th century, which had destroyed almost all the buildings in the city and the entire northern part of the country. The base of the square measures twelve metres per side, with a masonry thickness of three metres. The monumental octagonal bell tower was completed in 1925, reaching a total height of 75 metres.

The largest bell cracked again and was recast in 2003, reaching a bronze weight of 4566 kg. The bells are equipped with ropes so that they can be carried upright for solemn ringing. A tenth bell was added in 2014, cast by the Grassmayr bell foundry in Innsbruck, bringing the concert to eleven bells in 2020, reaching a record total weight of 145 quintals. The tower houses a museum of many old bells on the first floor, one of which dates back to 1384. The bells are rung at the end of the feast of All Saints, when we were invited by the director to spend the sunset and evening of the feast together. After ringing the bells in a festive manner, the funeral chime was played in memory of all those who have died. In this bonus track you can hear the magnificence of the cathedral bell. In the 4th century, many churches began to be built, including two neighbouring twin cathedrals. The second cathedral was demolished and rebuilt in the 9th century, becoming the city's main building where bishops began to be buried. The beautiful building collapsed following the largest earthquake ever recorded in the area, which destroyed buildings as far away as Milan. The cathedral was rebuilt and inaugurated in 1187 by Pope Urban III. The structure has remained unchanged, despite wonderful later additions in various architectural styles. #bell #church #catholic #history #italy #bells #cathedral #landscape #bonus #catholicchurch #halloween #cinematic Music track: 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿 - 𝗖𝗼𝗽𝘆𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰
