FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The decision was a compromise between freedom of religion and the demand for peace and quiet from an increasingly secular population.
“Since time immemorial the ringing of bells has been a cultural expression of the ecclesiastical community, as well as a mark of significant moments in the life of the Christian community and of individual faithful,” the ruling said.
The row began in 2008, when complaints were filed against the excessively loud ringing of bells from the church of San Pietro Orseolo in the town of Mestre, on the mainland a few miles from Venice itself.
Environmental officials were called in and the parish priest was fined 1,280 euros after it was found that the bells exceeded the permissible decibel level.
But the debate spread to other parishes, with long-suffering residents saying they could no longer stand the “torture” of loud, frequent bell-ringing.
The tourist experience will not be entirely compromised – the 325ft-tall Campanile bell tower, which towers over St Mark’s Square, is exempt from the new rules.
Exceptions will also be made for Christmas and Easter.
