Concert in the Lab with the bells

For whom does the bell ring? For the feast of the Baptism of Jesus in the Church of San Lorenzo in Oldenico. In the land of rice fields, of flooded marshes to cradle the plants, where people work from morning to evening for agriculture, the sound of the bells is muffled and invisible, closed in the fog. On feast days and days of rest, there is more joy in calling the faithful back to Mass, in sounding the invitation to participate in the Church. If Jesus is baptized they must hear all the bells and let them be concerted! It has all been organized for some time together with a trusted and faithful man, the bells are concerted, two are ancient, the other three added, but it does not matter, the vibrating of the bronze vault at the beating of the clapper is music and it is so beautiful that it has nothing to envy modernity. The Church is in red bricks, the vaulted interiors are bare, the altar the simplest imaginable, but Jesus would have loved it no less than others and therefore that everyone in the village and the surrounding area knows that, today he, it really is here.
