The Italian Wikipedia article about the town mentions this church and its acquisition of these bells.

An architectural history page about this modern church has a photo that clearly shows the bells hung under the high roof of the large entry porch.  A larger version of the same photo is here; it can be expanded to an even larger version.  Google Streetview offers even better views of the bells, especially on a desktop system with large monitor.

A page on the Capanni Website describes these bells and has a photo of the largest.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of the Capanni bellfoundry, in this region and in the world.
