The church of Cesenatico in Emilia Romagna was built in 1931 and it was not until the beginning of the 21st century that the first official bell tower was built, inaugurated in 2016 with the installation of two bells rescued from a 10th century Romanesque mountain parish church. The ruin of the ancient church prompted the parish priest to save the two bells, which are the oldest in the diocese of Cesena, cast by an itinerant craftsman from Verona.

The two bells ring individually and together to make this important documentary. The larger bell was cast in 1361 for a weight of 126 kg, while the smaller bell was added in 1362 for a weight of 91 kg. The two bells are one semitone apart, ringing a G and an F sharp.
In 1920, the community of Gatteo a Mare (Italy) began the search for a piece of land on which to erect a new church, because it was only celebrated during the summer by the sea. The new church was inaugurated in July 1932 in the presence of the archbishop of Cesena. The church was built in neo-Gothic style and was initially dedicated to Our Lady of Health and heavily desecrated in October 1944. A German troop had broken through the church walls and burnt all its contents, going so far as to use the altars and confessionals as latrines where they urinated and defecated during the day. The church was rebuilt between 1946 and 1947, embellished with beautiful works of art created between 1950 and 1960. The church was solemnly reconsecrated on 3 August 1961 and dedicated to Mary Assumed into Heaven.
