Verona, San Giorgio in Bràida, suonata a sistema veronese
Музыка
The tower San Giorgio in Bràida is the place where the Veronese ringing was developed. It started in 1776 and evolved throughout the 19th century until it got its definitive shape in the early 20th century. Meanwhile this way of ringing had spread over the complete city of Verona and the surroundings. Bells are rung full circle, and by stopping the bells in reversed position the bells can be rung exactly at the desired moment, so that real melodies can be played. As far as we know this is the only bell ringing tradition where melodies can be played by swinging bells.
Many thanks to the bell ringers of San Giorgio in Bràida and Matteo Padovani in particular for letting us visit the tower of San Giorgio in Bràida and the tower of the duomo. Dank aan de reiscommissie van het Utrechts Klokkenluiders Gilde voor de organisatie van de reis.

Thank for the welcome in both towers in Verona.
I find it very interesting that change ringing happens in Italy. Whilst much more simple that English change ringing it is still change ringing.

The main difference is that in England you play patterns ("changes"), while in Veronese ringing they play melodies.

@@thierrypauwels English bell ringers have been to Italy and rung methods. I saw a video you did in York ringing Great Peter, no doubt you also got to see the change ringing in the other tower. Surely the best peal of change ringing in bells Inthe world I think
Very interesting that there is an exact year and tower given for the start of Veronese style ringing, compared to Change Ringing which is lost to history
Good video

As far as I know it is not trying to match change ringing, but a system that developed independently in the 18th century. And the fact that there are no stays makes it probably easier to hold the bell in upright position. The main difference is that in change ringing bells are contiuously in motion, and you have to stop them only at the end of the ringing, while in Veronese ringing the bell is stopped after each strike until it is its turn again to strike. The consequence is that in change ringing you can only make patterns that evolve, while in Veronese ringing you can play real melodies, as is the case here, where they play Ave Maria from Lourdes. There is a film on KZread where they try to play a Veronese melody (the Montegaldella ringing) in England with stays. And by the fact that they have to stop the bell after each strike, it loses its dynamic, and it is much slower than the Veronese version.
