This is surely the most important video of the year for the exceptional historical documentation of these two bells, the oldest in Italy still working on a bell tower. With this video I wish you all a Merry Christmas and thank you for your valuable support. I wish you much happiness and good luck with your channel! It is truly incredible to think that these two bells have been ringing on this tower for a good 914 years!

The very old Romanesque façade of the church in Puglia (Arezzo) is dominated by the bell tower, which houses the most precious treasure of this building: two bells dating back to 1109 that have the typical medieval beehive shape, which is why the sound is so bad. These are the oldest bells in the diocese, the oldest in Italy that are still working, but above all the first bells to be signed by the bell founder. The approximate notes of these bells are a G and an F sharp.
Puglia was already inhabited by the ancient Romans, because the hill stands on the road that connected the cities of Arezzo and Bologna in Roman times, passing on one of the main routes to the capital of the Roman Empire. In the Middle Ages, the small village was fortified, building a castle and two churches within the walls. The surviving church was transformed in the early 12th century in the Romanesque style, when the new façade with the bell tower was built and the two bells that still exist were cast. The church dedicated to Mary Assumed into Heaven is one of the best-preserved churches in the Tuscan Romanesque style, built on top of the hill for defensive purposes. From the roof of the church we see the two magnificent and historic bells, observing the beautiful panorama of the entire Tuscan landscape.
