Hope you like it

This post have been inspired by my recent trips in Central Italy, in the heart of the earthquaked areas.
Most of the bell towers of the area have been deeply injuried.
Bell towers in Europe are part of the culture of everyone. Even if the towers are normally related to the Churches, the function of the bell tower was in the past much more than a call to pray.
The Bell towers was the center of every village, a clear target visible for kilometers.
The Bell Towers was a clock for all the village, with the medium bell marking the hours, and the small one marking the quarters
The Bell Towers was the first social media, communicating important events, like dead of marriages, or warning everyone for an incoming storm.I still remember, being a child, how my grandfather was listening the message of the Bells
Bell Tower (campanile in Italian language) is a so important reference for every village that we use the word Campanilismo, to indicate the Parochialism
For this reason, seing a lot of damaged Bell Towers is very painful for me.
Of course, Bells and towers are very important also to other cultures, so feel free to share your Bells, your Towers, your Minarets in here.
Having no more bells tower to mantain, the new Quasimodo of the Sibillini Mountains is moving from village to village, playing the bells and teaching us about the history of every tower.
I met him ten days ago, and now I want to share his concert with you.

Hi @ErmesT ,
Just a quick note: I’m removing the Italian language tag from your post, as it’s written in English.
