Restoration of Venice Campanile Nears Completion
The bell tower at St Mark’s in Venice is nearly rebuilt after a 1902 collapse. Bricks from Treviso are carefully cleaned of salt, the shaft rises clear of scaffolding, and four bells replaced by Pope Pius X. The project costs over 2,000,000 francs, funded by public subscription and a state grant.

The Welsh Eisteddfod and Its Gorsedd Rituals
The National Eisteddfod of Wales features the Gorsedd ceremony on Logan Stone with Arch-Druid Dyfed, Ovates, bards in colored robes, and the sword of peace. New members are initiated as Englynion are recited, music by Ap Easy Birth and Eos Dar, and a dramatic ascent of the tower with future gilded angel figures. The event blends Welsh pageantry with choral prowess and ends with the bardic chairing and adjudication of the year’s best alliterative poem.
