S. Crisogono: the belltower - S. Crisogono: il campanile.


This beautiful belltower (added in the XII century, when the church was rebuilt), risk to fall in 1600, when the Cardinal Scipione Borghese the forward on the roof. This is the reason of the masonry of the windows in the lower!
Questo bel campanile (aggiunto nel XII secolo, quando la chiesa fu ricostruita), rischiò di cadere nel 1600, quando il cardinale Scipione Borghese lo abbellì sul tetto. Questo è il motivo della muratura delle finestre in basso!

Well then take a deep breath... blow it all into a Green Balloon... and wait until Friday afternoon to send it up to the sky, wherever you are on this planet. Millions of Iranians inside Iran are planning to paint the sky green on Friday exactly at 1pm Tehran time. The non-violent green movement is being cracked down on the ground, so lets take it to the sky."
