Bells ring in the new year, Venice
Oct 09, 2022, 07:24 PM
On New Year’s Eve on Fondamenta Toletta, the bells ring out for the evening mass then fade away, leaving the passing conversations of locals and tourists to mingle. Venice is unique from a sonic perspective - the lack of car traffic gives it a completely different sound to any other city, one that is cleaner and clearer and leaves more space for other aspects of the soundscape to breathe.
