St Mark's Campanile, Carnival of Venice 2012, Venice, Veneto, Italy, Europe
St Mark's Campanile is the bell tower of St Mark's Basilica in Venice, Italy, located in the Piazza San Marco. It is one of the most recognizable symbols of the city. The tower is 98.6 metres (323 ft) tall, and stands alone in a corner of St Mark's Square, near the front of the basilica. It has a simple form, the bulk of which is a fluted brick square shaft, 12 metres (39 ft) wide on each side and 50 metres (160 ft) tall, above which is a loggia surrounding the belfry, housing five bells. The belfry is topped by a cube, alternate faces of which show the Lion of St. Mark and the female representation of Venice (la Giustizia: Justice). The tower is capped by a pyramidal spire, at the top of which sits a golden weathervane in the form of the archangel Gabriel. The campanile reached its present form in 1514. The current tower was reconstructed in its present form in 1912 after the collapse of 1902. The initial 9th-century construction, initiated during the reign of Pietro Tribuno and built on Roman foundations, was used as a watch tower or lighthouse for the dock, which then occupied a substantial part of the area which is now the Piazzetta. Construction was finished in the twelfth century, during the reign of Domenico Morosini. Adjoining the base of the campanile is the loggetta built by Sansovino, completed in 1549 and rebuilt in 1912 after it had been destroyed by the fall of the campanile. One of the models for the tower was the St. Mercuriale's Campanile, in Forlì. Seriously damaged by a fire in 1489 that destroyed the wooden spire, the campanile assumed its definitive shape in the sixteenth century thanks to the restorations made to repair further damage caused by the earthquake of March 1511. These works, initiated by the architect Giorgio Spavento, then executed under the direction of Bartolomeo Bon of Bergamo, added the belfry, realized in marble; the attic, on which was put the sculpture of the lion of Saint Mark and Venice; and the spire, in gold leaf. The work was completed on 6 July 1513, with the placement of the gilded wooden statue of the Archangel Gabriel in the course of a ceremony recorded by Marin Sanudo. In the following centuries numerous other interventions were made to repair the damage caused by fires. In 1653, Baldassarre Longhena took up the restorations. More work was done after a fire on April 13, 1745, which caused some of the masonry to crack, and killed several people as a result of falling stonework. Finally, in 1776, the campanile was equipped with a lightning rod. In 1820, the statue of the angel was replaced with a new one by Luigi Zandomeneghi. Each of the five bells of the campanile had a special purpose. The Renghiera (or the Maleficio) announced executions; the Mezza Terza proclaimed a session of the Senate; the Nona sounded midday; the Trottiera called the members of the Maggior Consiglio to council meetings and the Marangona, the biggest, rang to mark the beginning and ending of working day. They are tuned in the scale of A. In July 1902, the north wall of the tower began to show signs of a dangerous crack that in the following days continued to grow. Finally, on Monday, July 14, around 9:45 am, the campanile collapsed completely, also demolishing the logetta. Remarkably, no one was killed, except for the caretaker's cat. Because of the campanile's position, the resulting damage was relatively limited. Apart from the logetta, only a corner of the Biblioteca Marciana was destroyed. The pietra del bando, a large porphyry column from which laws used to be read, protected the basilica itself. The same evening, the communal council approved over 500,000 Lire for the reconstruction of the campanile. It was decided to rebuild the tower exactly as it was, with some internal reinforcement to prevent future collapse. Work lasted until March 6, 1912. The new campanile was inaugurated on April 25, 1912, on the occasion of Saint Mark's feast day, exactly 1000 years after the foundations of the original building had allegedly been laid. The Campanile is currently undergoing a major set of building works that are forecast to last a few years. Like many buildings in Venice, it is built on soft ground, supported by wooden piles. Due to years of winter flooding (Acqua Alta), the subsoil has become saturated and the campanile has begun to subside and lean. Evidence of this can be seen in the increasing number of cracks in the masonry. In order to stop the damage, a ring of titanium is being built underneath the foundations of the campanile. The titanium ring will protect the campanile from the shifting soil and ensure that the tower subsides equally and does not lean. It is still possible to climb the campanile during these works.

Piazza San Marco often known in English as St Mark's Square, is the principal public square of Venice, Italy, where it is generally known just as the Piazza (la Piazza).
The Square is dominated at its eastern end by the great church of St Mark. It is described here by a perambulation starting from the west front of the church (facing the length of the Piazza) and proceeding to the right.
The west facade of St Mark's basilica
The church is described in the article St Mark's Basilica, but there are aspects of it which are so much a part of the Piazza that they must be mentioned here, including the whole of the west facade with its great arches and marble decoration, the Romanesque carvings round the central doorway and, above all, the four horses which preside over the whole piazza and are such potent symbols of the pride and power of Venice that the Genoese in 1379 said that there could be no peace between the two cities until these horses had been bridled;[four hundred years later, Napoleon, after he had conquered Venice, had them taken down and shipped to Paris.
The Piazzetta dei Leoncini is an open space on the north side of the church named after the two marble lions (presented by Doge Alvise Mocenigo in 1722), but now officially called the Piazzetta Giovanni XXIII. The neo-classic building on the east side adjoining the Basilica is the Palazzo Patriarcale, the seat of the Patriarch of Venice.
Beyond that is the Clock Tower (Torre dell'Orologio), completed in 1499, above a high archway where the street known as the Merceria (a main thoroughfare of the city) leads through shopping streets to the Rialto, the commercial and financial center. To the right of the clock-tower is the closed church of San Basso, designed by Baldassarre Longhena (1675), sometimes open for exhibitions.
To the left is the long arcade along the north side of the Piazza, the buildings on this side are known as the Procuratie Vecchie, the old procuracies, formerly the homes and offices of the Procurators of St. Mark, high officers of state in the days of the republic of Venice. They were built in the early 16th century. The arcade is lined with shops and restaurants at ground level, with offices above. The restaurants include the famous Caffè Quadri, which was patronized by the Austrians when Venice was ruled by Austria in the 19th century, while the Venetians preferred Florian's on the other side of the Piazza.
Turning left at the end, the arcade continues along the west end of the Piazza, which was rebuilt by Napoleon about 1810 and is known as the Ala Napoleonica (Napoleonic Wing). It holds, behind the shops, a ceremonial staircase which was to have led to a royal palace but now forms the entrance to the Museo Correr (Correr Museum).
The west face of the Campanile seen from the Piazza (during Carnival in Feb.1998)
Turning left again, the arcade continues down the south side of the Piazza. The buildings on this side are known as the Procuratie Nuove (new procuracies), which were designed by Jacopo Sansovino in the mid-16th century but partly built (1582–86) after his death by Vincenzo Scamozzi apparently with alterations required by the Procurators and finally completed by Baldassarre Longhena about 1640.Again, the ground floor has shops and also the Caffè Florian, a famous cafe opened in 1720 by Floriano Francesconi, which was patronised by the Venetians when the hated Austrians were at Quadri's. The upper floors were intended by Napoleon to be a palace for his stepson Eugène de Beauharnais, his viceroy in Venice, and now houses the Museo Correr. At the far end the Procuratie meet the north end of Sansovino's Libreria (mid-16th century), whose main front faces the Piazzetta and is described there. The arcade continues round the corner into the Piazzetta.
Opposite to this, standing free in the Piazza, is the Campanile of St Mark's church (1156/73 last restored in 1514), rebuilt in 1912 ' com'era, dov'era ' (as it was, where it was) after the collapse of the former campanile on 14 July 1902. Adjacent to the Campanile, facing towards the church, is the elegant small building known as the Loggetta del Sansovino, built by Sansovino in 1537-46, and used as a lobby by patricians waiting to go into a meeting of the Great Council in the Doges Palace and by guards when the Great Council was sitting.
Across the Piazza in front of the church are three large mast-like flagpoles with bronze bases decorated in high relief by Alessandro Leopardi in 1505. The Venetian flag of St Mark used to fly from them in the time of the republic of Venice and now shares them with the Italian flag.

Il primo monuments men. Paolo Thaòn di Revèl e la difesa del patrimonio culturale di Venezia
Nel '45 furono chiamati monuments men e sono diventati famosi al grande pubblico per via di un libro e di un film che racconta la loro storia. Si tratta del gruppo di 350 uomini e donne tra restauratori, archivisti, direttori di musei, archeologi, che avevano un solo obiettivo: recuperare i capolavori trafugati dalle truppe di Hitler.
30 anni prima, però, l’ammiraglio Paolo Thaòn di Rèvel ebbe un compito ben più arduo: quello di difendere la città di Venezia e preservare l’immenso patrimonio culturale a cielo aperto. Un’impresa che emerge da una monografia scritta da un cronista del tempo, Umberto Fracchia. Nel 1917, un anno prima della conclusione della Grande Guerra, l’Ufficio Speciale del Ministero della Marina pubblicò una serie di monografie dal titolo “La Marina Italiana nella Guerra Europea”.
Egli dispose un sistema di difesa con ripari alquanto ingegnosi, come dimostrano le foto concesse dall’Ufficio Storico della Marina Militare, che modificarono l’aspetto della città. Fra un arco e l’altro, lungo il porticato di Palazzo Ducale vennero eretti grandi pilastri per reggere le facciate delle costruzioni. Nelle finestre erano state installate gabbie di travi. La nuova Loggetta del Sansovino, ai piedi del Campanile era stata interamente ricoperta con tavole, lastre di ferro e sacchi di sabbia. L’interno di San Marco era diventato simile all’interno di una fortezza, con bastioni e fasciature enormi.
Moltiplicare e adattare le attività alle più svariate congiunture. In questo modo l'ammiraglio Paolo Thaon di Revel sintetizzava la capacità della Marina di operare efficacemente sia nel campo militare, che in quello sociale e umanitario - spiega Leonardo Merlini, capo sezione editoria dell'Ufficio Storico della Marina -. Fu proprio questa poliedricità, che Revél volle fortemente applicare nell'impiego degli uomini e dei mezzi della Marina a decretarne l'indiscutibile successo nella Grande Guerra.
St Mark's Campanile (Campanile di San Marco). Bells of Campanile
St Mark's Campanile (Campanile di San Marco in Italian) is the bell tower of St Mark's Basilica in Venice, Italy, located in the Piazza San Marco. It is one of the most recognizable symbols of the city.
The tower is 98.6 metres (323 ft) tall, and stands alone in a corner of St Mark's Square, near the front of the basilica. It has a simple form, the bulk of which is a fluted brick square shaft, 12 metres (39 ft) wide on each side and 50 metres (160 ft) tall, above which is a loggia surrounding the belfry, housing five bells. The belfry is topped by a cube, alternate faces of which show the Lion of St. Mark and the female representation of Venice (la Giustizia: Justice). The tower is capped by a pyramidal spire, at the top of which sits a golden weathervane in the form of the archangel Gabriel. The campanile reached its present form in 1514. The current tower was reconstructed in its present form in 1912 after the collapse of 1902.
The initial 9th-century construction, initiated during the reign of Pietro Tribuno and built on Roman foundations,[1] was used as a watch tower or lighthouse for the dock, which then occupied a substantial part of the area which is now the Piazzetta. Construction was finished in the twelfth century, during the reign of Domenico Morosini. Adjoining the base of the campanile is the loggetta built by Sansovino, completed in 1549 and rebuilt in 1912 after it had been destroyed by the fall of the campanile. One of the models for the tower was the St. Mercuriale's Campanile, in Forlì.

Palladian Basilica, Vicenza, Veneto, Italy, Europe
The Basilica Palladiana is a Renaissance building in the central Piazza dei Signori in Vicenza, north-eastern Italy. The most notable feature of the edifice is the loggia, which shows one of the first examples of what have come to be known as the Palladian window, designed by a young Andrea Palladio, whose work in architecture was to have a significant effect on the field during the Renaissance and later periods. Since 1994, the Basilica Palladiana, together with other Palladian buildings in and around Vicenza, has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site City of Vicenza and the Palladian Villas of the Veneto. The building was originally constructed in the 15th century and was known as the Palazzo della Ragione, having been designed by Domenico da Venezia to include two pre-existing public palazzi. The building, which was in the Gothic style, served as the seat of government and also housed a number of shops on the ground floor. The 82-metre (269 ft)-tall Torre Bissara precedes this structure, as it is known from as early as 1172; however, its height was increased on this occasion, and its pinnacle was finished in 1444. It has five bells in the chord of E. The 15th-century edifice had an upside-down cover, partly supported by large archivolts, inspired by the one built in 1306 for the eponymous building of Padua. The Gothic façade was in red and gialletto marble of Verona, and is still visible behind the Palladio addition. A double order of columns was built by Tommaso Formenton in 1481-1494 to surround the palace. However, two years after its completion, the south-western corner collapsed. In the following decades, the Vicentine government called in architects such as Antonio Rizzo, Giorgio Spavento, Antonio Scarpagnino, Jacopo Sansovino, Sebastiano Serlio, Michele Sanmicheli and Giulio Romano to propose a reconstruction plan. However, in 1546 the Council of One Hundred chose a 40-year-old local architect, Palladio, to reconstruct the building starting from April 1549. Palladio added a new outer shell of marble classical forms, a loggia and a portico that now obscure the original Gothic architecture. He also dubbed the building a basilica, after the ancient Roman civil structures of that name.
The Basilica was an expensive project and took a long time to complete. Palladio received for the work an income of 5 ducats a month for most of his life. In 1614 thirty years after his death the building was completed, with the finishing of the main façade on Piazza delle Erbe. Drawings by Palladio, from his original proposal of 1546 to the final construction, have been preserved. His solution, which also encompasses the necessary measure to adapt the addition to the pre-existing structure, is based on the so-called serliana: this is a repetitive structure in which the round arcades are flanked by two rectangular openings; the latter were of different size, in order to match the variable size of the internal bay. In the angular arcades, the architrave openings become very narrow. The serliana had been already used in the Veneto some years before by Jacopo Sansovino for his Biblioteca Marciana (1537), as well as in the reconstruction of the Polirone Abbey by Giulio Romano (1540).
The loggias in the lower floor were in the Doric order; the associated entablature has a frieze which alternates metope and triglyphs. The upper-floor loggias, by contrast, are in the Ionic order, with a continuous frieze entablature. The parapet has statues by Giovanni Battista Albanese, Grazioli and Lorenzo Rubini. The clocktower has five bells in the chord of E major. Since 1994 the Basilica has been protected as part of the World Heritage Site also including the other Palladian buildings of Vicenza. The building now often hosts exhibitions in its large hall used for civic events. A large restoration project started in 2007. In 2014 it won the European Union Prize for Cultural Heritage / Europa Nostra Award.
TESSERIN E' IL PRIMO PROCURATORE DI SAN MARCO
CARLO ALBERTO TESSERIN, consigliere regionale uscente, nominato primo procuratore di San Marco, a dire il vero la notizia che fosse stato nominato procuratore l'avevamo già da qualche giorno che sia diventato addirittura primo procuratore è una GRANDE notizia che non può che far piacere.
L'istituzione più antica della repubblica di Venezia che ha il compito e la responsabilità di gestire la Basilica di San Marco e le realtà collegate come il campanile di San Marco, la loggia del Sansovino, il museo diocesano....INTERVISTA A CARLO ALBERTO TESSERIN
Piazza San Marco
Piazza San Marco è il cuore di Venezia, la meta prediletta e immancabile d’ogni turista, per il complesso unico ed inimitabile dei monumenti che vi si affacciano. Nel Medioevo era costituita da un piccolo spazio, ampliato solo dopo l’interramento del canale Datario. In seguito, su progetto soprattutto del Sansovino, l’area fu arricchita con gli edifici delle Procuratie, del campanile, della Torre dell’Orologio, della Libreria Sansoviniana e della Zecca. Nel Settecento fu modificata la pavimentazione della piazza: nell’ottocento fu edificata l’Ala Napoleonica e si provvide a spianare i Granai di Terranova e ad abbattere la Chiesa di San Geminiano. Ora la piazza offre al visitatore un’immagine armoniosa e composita, formata da stili diversi ma che si compenetrano e completano a vicenda.
La piazza ha forma trapezoidale, è lunga circa 175 m. e larga circa 80. Sul perimetro di quest’ampio spazio si ergono edifici di grande valore architettonico: la Basilica di San Marco, il Palazzo Ducale, la Loggetta e la Torre dell'Orologio La delimitano ad est la Basilica di San Marco, a nord il palazzo delle Procuratie Vecchie (ricostruite nel ‘500), a sud quello delle Procuratie Nuove (costruite a fine ‘500), ad ovest il palazzo napoleonico che unisce le due Procuratie. Sotto i portici delle due Procuratie si trovano alcuni caffè storici di Venezia, attivi fin dal Settecento.
Ciò che rende davvero unica questa Piazza è soprattutto l'apertura verso la laguna nell'angolo a sud-est, delimitato da un lato dall'alto Campanile e dall'altro dallo splendido loggiato del Palazzo Ducale. Nel vasto spazio aperto circondato dai palazzi storici passano turisti di tutto il mondo. Qui si tengono anche le manifestazioni del Carnevale, uno dei più importanti del mondo: vi si possono ammirare le maschere più belle e ricche, in uno scintillio di colori che fa rivivere i fasti dell'epoca d'oro di Venezia tra XVI e XVIII secolo.

WALKING AROUND PIAZZA SAN MARCO - VATICAN CITY
The Square[2] is dominated at its eastern end by the great church of St Mark. It is described here by a perambulation starting from the west front of the church (facing the length of the Piazza) and proceeding to the right.
The west facade of St Mark's basilica
The church is described in the article St Mark's Basilica, but there are aspects of it which are so much a part of the Piazza that they must be mentioned here, including the whole of the west facade with its great arches and marble decoration, the Romanesque carvings round the central doorway and, above all, the four horses which preside over the whole piazza and are such potent symbols of the pride and power of Venice that the Genoese in 1379 said that there could be no peace between the two cities until these horses had been bridled;[3] four hundred years later, Napoleon, after he had conquered Venice, had them taken down and shipped to Paris.[4]
The Piazzetta dei Leoncini is an open space on the north side of the church named after the two marble lions (presented by Doge Alvise Mocenigo in 1722), but now officially called the Piazzetta San Giovanni XXIII. The neo-classic building on the east side adjoining the Basilica is the Palazzo Patriarcale, the seat of the Patriarch of Venice.
Beyond that is the Clock Tower (Torre dell'Orologio), completed in 1499, above a high archway where the street known as the Merceria (a main thoroughfare of the city) leads through shopping streets to the Rialto, the commercial and financial centre. To the right of the clock-tower is the closed church of San Basso, designed by Baldassarre Longhena (1675), sometimes open for exhibitions.[5]
To the left is the long arcade along the north side of the Piazza, the buildings on this side are known as the Procuratie Vecchie, the old procuracies, formerly the homes and offices of the Procurators of St. Mark, high officers of state in the days of the republic of Venice. They were built in the early 16th century. The arcade is lined with shops and restaurants at ground level, with offices above. The restaurants include the famous Caffè Quadri, which was patronized by the Austrians when Venice was ruled by Austria in the 19th century, while the Venetians preferred Florian's on the other side of the Piazza.
Turning left at the end, the arcade continues along the west end of the Piazza, which was rebuilt by Napoleon about 1810 and is known as the Ala Napoleonica (Napoleonic Wing). It holds, behind the shops, a ceremonial staircase which was to have led to a royal palace but now forms the entrance to the Museo Correr (Correr Museum).
The west face of the Campanile seen from the Piazza (during Carnival in Feb.1998)
Turning left again, the arcade continues down the south side of the Piazza. The buildings on this side are known as the Procuratie Nuove (new procuracies), which were designed by Jacopo Sansovino in the mid-16th century but partly built (1582–86) after his death by Vincenzo Scamozzi apparently with alterations required by the Procurators and finally completed by Baldassarre Longhena about 1640.[6] Again, the ground floor has shops and also the Caffè Florian, a famous cafe opened in 1720 by Floriano Francesconi, which was patronised by the Venetians when the hated Austrians were at Quadri's. The upper floors were intended by Napoleon to be a palace for his stepson Eugène de Beauharnais, his viceroy in Venice, and now houses the Museo Correr. At the far end the Procuratie meet the north end of Sansovino's Libreria (mid-16th century), whose main front faces the Piazzetta and is described there. The arcade continues round the corner into the Piazzetta.
Opposite to this, standing free in the Piazza, is the Campanile of St Mark's church (1156/73 last restored in 1514), rebuilt in 1912 ' com'era, dov'era ' (as it was, where it was) after the collapse of the former campanile on 14 July 1902. Adjacent to the Campanile, facing towards the church, is the elegant small building known as the Loggetta del Sansovino, built by Sansovino in 1537-46, and used as a lobby by patricians waiting to go into a meeting of the Great Council in the Doge's Palace and by guards when the Great Council was sitting.
Across the Piazza in front of the church are three large mast-like flagpoles with bronze bases decorated in high relief by Alessandro Leopardi in 1505. The Venetian flag of St Mark used to fly from them in the time of the republic of Venice and now shares them with the Italian flag.

Campane della Basilica Patriarcale di S. Marco in VENEZIA (03) e salita al campanile
Distesa della 2^ (Nona o Mezzana) per l'angelus feriale/festivo ripresa dalla cella campanaria.
Concerto di 5 campane in La2 fuse da fonditori e in epoche diversi ed elettrificate a slancio inizialmente dalla ditta svizzera Schlieren - Wagons & Ascenseurs ora in manutenzione da Vanin di Trebaseleghe.
Dopo il tanto vento e il temporale di domenica 21/08/2016, guardo le previsioni del tempo e vedo che la settimana è prevista come una delle più belle della stagione.
Così, lunedì 22/08/2016, dopo aver fatto un programma della settimana, decido che mercoledì sarei salito sul campanile di San Marco a Venezia!!
Così, arrivato il gran giorno, parto da Jesolo alle 08:45 e arrivo a Punta Sabbioni (da dove si prende la motonave per Venezia) alle 09:17, giusto giusto per prendere la motonave delle 09:30 (anche se avevo preventivato di prendere quella delle 10:00), ma si può dire che ho fatto la scelta giusta, perché sennò avrei trovato tantissima coda per salire.
Ma torniamo al viaggio...
Dopo aver preso la motonave a Punta Sabbioni sono arrivato a Venezia alla fermata S. Marco - S. Zaccaria intorno alle 10:00 e mi sono subito avviato verso Piazza San Marco.
Dopo aver fatto i soliti 500 metri circa sotto il sole (che scottava già) in Riva degli Schiavoni, mi metto in coda per salire sul campanile alle 10:16.
Una volta arrivati dentro alla loggetta del Sansovino, l'ingresso del campanile, e dopo aver fatto il biglietto, mi metto in coda per l'ascensore, ma in pochi minuti sono riuscito ad entrare nel bellissimo e moderno ascensore che mi ha scaricato proprio nel centro della cella campanaria.
Il primo sguardo è stato proprio alla Marangona: DALLA CELLA E' UN BESTIONE!!!!
Anche le altre campane non scherzano come grandezza e imponenza.
Ora passiamo al panorama: tutto quello che si vede da lì in alto ti fa vedere tutta Venezia proprio ai tuoi piedi!!
In cella sono arrivato alle 10:50 e sceso alle 12:10.
Tutto il tempo che sono stato in cella sembra lungo, ma ho fatto un giro di foto a 360° con la macchinetta fotografica, poi con il telefonino, poi le varie riprese al panorama e alle campane ed è arrivato subito mezzogiorno meno cinque, quando mi sono messo i tappi per riprendere la distesa della Nona o Mezzana.
A mezzogiorno in punto parte il motore e l'emozione è alle stelle.
Una volta finita la suonata, anche se con una frenata un po'brusca, mi metto in coda per prendere l'ascensore della discesa e alle 12:10 circa arrivo in piazza San Marco e, dopo aver bevuto un succo di frutta, mi incammino per la motonave delle 12:45 e torno a casa alle 13:55.
La mattinata è stata davvero favolosa!!
I sottofondi delle foto sono l'audio del Plenum e della distesa delle tre minori dei video del mio canale.
1^:Marangona o Carpentiera detta anche Campanon è l'unica nel concerto che si salvò nel crollo del 1902, diametro 1,80 m, peso 3 625 kg, nota La2, fusa da Canciano Dalla Venezia, richiamava i marangoni (falegnami);
2^:Nona o Mezzana, diametro 1,56 m, peso 2 556 kg, nota Si2 calante. Fusa dai Fratelli Barigozzi di Milano, segnalava il termine ultimo in cui si potevano spedire lettere a Rialto;
3^: Trottiera diametro 1 m e 38,5 m, peso 1 807 kg, nota Do#3 calante. Fusa dai Fratelli Barigozzi di Milano, con il suo suono i patrizi dovevano affrettarsi a raggiungere il Palazzo Ducale mettendo a trotto le loro cavalcature;
4^:Pregadi o Pregadio, diametro 1,290 m, peso 1 336 kg, nota Re3 calante. Fusa dai Fratelli Barigozzi di Milano, annunciava l'inizio delle riunioni del senato;
5^:Maleficio o Renghiera, diametro 1,160 m, peso 1 011 kg, nota Mi3 calante. Fusa anch'essa dai Fratelli Barigozzi di Milano, suonava quando un magistrato faceva un'arringa d'ufficio a difesa del condannato prima di eseguire la sentenza.
Le campane presentano ancora i ceppi di Morellato molto decorati in legno.
Il campanile è alto 100 m. e dai Veneziani e soprannominato El paron de casa (traduzione: il padrone di casa).
