The
Association was born in 1934 thanks to a group of bell ringers from Bologna urged by Cav. Cesare Brighenti descendant from the famous Bolognese
foundry and he himself a foundryman. The aim of the association is to keep alive
and spread the Bolognese bell ringing art. The seat of the association was
established at St. Francis‘ cloister in Bologna where it remained till the
1960s when it was moved to Casalecchio at first at St. Martin’s church and
then at the residence of the present chairman, Mr Angiolino Roffi, where it is
still at present.
Aims of
the association, as from its charter, are to preserve and spread the tradition
of the ringing of bells after the Bolognese fashion in religious and civil
manifestation and cement the bonds of solidarity among all fans of
the bell ringing art, through synergy with other associations and
bell ringers of the area.
In fact,
for the achievement of the social aim, the association activities unfold between
complying with religious services
at churches in Bologna and province and participating in civil ceremonies or
enterprises which might someway contribute to a larger spreading of the bell
ringing art.
Have you
ever wondered why they ring the
bells and the way they do it in
Bologna? In a few lines we’ll try
to give you a little smattering about that, hoping to stir curiosity in you and
to drive you to climb a bell tower when you hear them ring. Then you’ll
discover a wholly new world made up of people
who try to pass on a century-old art and who have taken spur from that to
build and consolidate a bond of friendship. Actually around the ringing of the bells we are trying to make
a lot of activities from competitions among ourselves to trips or even
only ringings that we perform together to enjoy ourselves in addition to making
practice, trying however not to forget that the
Bolognese bell ringing art was primarily born for a religious aim. Besides if
your curiosity is not yet satisfied we’ll try to tell you something also on
how bells are made: visit the pages about the foundries.
Bells
are rung all over the world and perhaps you might have known this, but if you
want to get an idea of how many the
bell ringers in Italy can be try to have a look at this list that
reports the addresses of the main associations and of some individuals
that every year meet for the national convention and who have been
trying for some years to found a sort of central committee that could
have the strength to promote and spread the bell ringing art. Abroad we can say
that England has a very strong
organization led by the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers.
