La Campana dei Caduti – The Bell of the Fallen

At the suggestion of a Rovereto priest, Fr.Antonio Rossaro, the Bell was cast in 1924 using bronze from the cannons of all the nations that participated in the Great War and even today this is the largest bell in the world that rings full peal. Every evening the bell tolls 100 times in remembrance of the fallen of all wars as a warning for future peace.
