Plenum from the belfry - Cathedral Bells San Cetteo V.M. - Pescara ABRUZZO

In this video I'm in Pescara (Italian municipality and province in Abruzzo), at the Cathedral of the patron saint of the Archdiocese of Pescara-Penne, dedicated to San Cetteo, bishop and martyr. The theme of this video is the magnificent plenum playing (taken from the cell) of the bell concert cast by Giacomo Colbachini in 1946 and blessed by Mons. Giuseppe Venturi on 04/27/1947. I had been waiting for this moment for more than 10 years; the emotion was sublime. The 3 major bells in the 1st belfry are in a swing system and form the typical Friulian chord while the 5 smaller ones in the 2nd belfry are in the Veronese system. The jams are from Colbachini and the system is from the Fagan company.
