Word Words Angels Bells

In Feltre, there is a unique museum called the “Museum of Dreams” that has deep roots, stemming from the idea that humanity, despite being divided into absolutely different geographical and contingent realities, shares the same destiny.

The venue hosts 500 symbols in memory of personalities and events of significant historical and human importance on an international level. One cannot fail to mention the piece of bombed tile from Hiroshima, donated in a one-of-a-kind case to the museum from the Peace Memorial Museum, while another exemplar outside of Japan is located only at the glass palace of the U.N. and is on loan.

The exhibition "Word Words Angels Bells" inaugurated recently will be open until Easter 2026: an exhibition of over 500 bells arrived from 84 countries from all 5 continents, connected to life stories embodied in the world, both personal and associative and relational.

 These include historic bells, linked to known and unknown people, who have positively marked plural life, as well as stories of hard work, suffering, birth, memory, art, music, silence, poetry, truth, freedom, death, resurrection, goodness, missionary life, faith, hope, charity.

Notably, the Bell of Italy, designed and created by young people, educators, volunteers, and friends of the “Villa San Francesco” Community in Pedavena, which is cast with bronze, copper, and lead from all Regions of Italy and tied to 121 Italian stories, that will live and speak forever within the Bell.
