Le campane di Firenze - Badia Fiorentina
Firenze, Badia Fiorentina
Arcidiocesi di Firenze
Concerto di 4 campane in Fa#3
Scala: Frigia ( l - ll Min - lll Min - IV)
Fuse da: ??
Sistema: Mezzo-Slancio
Distesa a 4 campane per la Messa delle ore 11.00 nella II Domenica dopo Natale (h.10.30 - 10.45)
Ed ecco un campanile mai ripreso: la Badia! Quando dovevo decidere che chiese riprendere a Firenze avevo subito notato questo campanile cilindrico ed avevo letto che era delle Badia di firenze che era una chiesa Cattolica sotto tutti gli effetti, così avevo cercato su internet gli orari delle messe ed era venuto fuori che era una chiesa di rito Gregoriano antico, però ho deciso ugualmente di provarci dopo essere sceso da San Miniato alle 10.23 sono arrivato alla badia e sono antrato subito in sacrestia lì ho visto un porgrammatore di una ditta che io conosco molto bene, poichè del nord, e indovinate cosa c'era scritto? ore 10.30: DIS1234 Perfetto!! La suonata però dura poco perchè come mi è stato riferito da un inserviente la normativa diocesana firmata dall'Arcivescovo di Firenze prevede che tutte le suonate delle chiese in centro storico debbano durare meno di un minuto (la cattedrale e santa croce 2 min.) Peccato! Spero solo che le campane vi piacciano e anche il campanile che, come ho detto nel video, assomiglia molto a quello di San Pietro di Perugia! :D

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Palermo ( pə-LAIR-moh, -LUR-, Italian: [paˈlɛrmo] (listen); Sicilian: Palermu, locally [paˈlɛmmʊ]; Latin: Panormus, from Greek: Πάνορμος, romanized: Pánormos) is a city of Southern Italy, the capital of both the autonomous region of Sicily and the Metropolitan City of Palermo. The city is noted for its history, culture, architecture and gastronomy, playing an important role throughout much of its existence; it is over 2,700 years old. Palermo is located in the northwest of the island of Sicily, right by the Gulf of Palermo in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The city was founded in 734 BC by the Phoenicians as Ziz. Palermo then became a possession of Carthage. Two Greek colonies were established, known collectively as Panormos or All-Port; the Carthaginians used this name on their coins after the 5th century BC. As Panormus, the town became part of the Roman Republic and Empire for over a thousand years. From 831 to 1072 the city was under Arab rule during the Emirate of Sicily when the city first became a capital. The Arabs shifted the Greek name into Bal'harm (Arabic: بَلَرْم), the root for Palermo's present-day name. Following the Norman reconquest, Palermo became the capital of a new kingdom (from 1130 to 1816), the Kingdom of Sicily and the capital of the Holy Roman Empire under Emperor Frederick II and King Conrad IV.
The population of Palermo urban area is estimated by Eurostat to be 855,285, while its metropolitan area is the fifth most populated in Italy with around 1.2 million people. In the central area, the city has a population of around 676,000 people. The inhabitants are known as Palermitani or, poetically, panormiti. The languages spoken by its inhabitants are the Italian language and the Palermitano dialect of the Sicilian language.
Palermo is Sicily's cultural, economic and tourism capital. It is a city rich in history, culture, art, music and food. Numerous tourists are attracted to the city for its good Mediterranean weather, its renowned gastronomy and restaurants, its Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque churches, palaces and buildings, and its nightlife and music. Palermo is the main Sicilian industrial and commercial center: the main industrial sectors include tourism, services, commerce and agriculture. Palermo currently has an international airport, and a significant underground economy.
In fact, for cultural, artistic and economic reasons, Palermo was one of the largest cities in the Mediterranean and is now among the top tourist destinations in both Italy and Europe. It is the main seat of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Arab-Norman Palermo and the Cathedral Churches of ...
