We sat down in an Italian restaurant tonight, and I looked up at a photograph of the view from our apartment in Vernazza. This led to reminiscing about the lovely town.

Vernazza:
I dream Italian nights
above your breakwater
and the good-night chimes
of the church bells.

(Here’s a sample posted to Youtube. I loved listening to the 9 p.m. bells. Not so much the morning bells! lol Such a beautiful place).

love your poem – and I miss the church bells now. When I was a child you would always hear them on a Sunday morning, calling the faithful to worship. Now you never seem to hear them in NZ
I have rarely ever heard church bells in Canada. Now and then there’s a carillon, and those are lovely.
Have a Wonderful New Year filled with Love and Laughter Shawn.

And to you David!
Italy and church bells = heaven!
Thanks for sharing a a snippet of the beautiful bells – very beautiful.
They are lovely. The town (and each of the 4 connected ones) is beautiful, too. So picturesque. We must go back someday, and make our own bell recording!
