*Links:

The Italian Wikipedia article about the village says nothing about the church (as of April 2022).

A page about the architectural history of the church has one photo that shows the tower, and a paragraph describing it (but not the bells).

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