This is Enzo, my cousin, and my guide for the next few days :) I've been hounding him with questions on top of questions.
The bells actually have a little story too. During WWII the German army was seeking out metals to make shells from and had raided almost all of the bell towers in the nearby villages. A man saw 5 Nazi Germans approaching the church and made a run for it up the Bell tower. He started to ring the bells which sent off an alert signal to the rest of the village. Soon the 5 Germans found themselves surrounded by an angry mob throwing whatever they could find at them. So they retreated and the bells were saved.
