Sundial 9



Sundial on the medieval bell tower of the church of San Cassiano, in the town of Grugliasco (Turin), designed during the restoration works in 1996.
The inscription says: "Sine sole sileo" ("Without the sun I remain silent").

Nice one!
Always good to have a clock next to the sundial for back-up.
This old one is a good reminder that once not many people had a watch on their wrist.

Trovo romantico e armonioso lo scandire del tempo con il sole.
Ottimi scatti Pietro.... un saluto e buona giornata!

How cool!

That's fascinating. The structure is very much like the clock tower in Waterbury, which is modeled after a clock tower in Italy....

I always enjoy your sundial posts. Each has it's own uniqueness.
Hope all is well with you my friend!

Ciao Pietro, io sto bene e tu? :-)
sai mi viene in mente quella canzone di Claudio Baglioni:-)
A volte bisogna racchiudere in fondo in fondo le proprie malinconie ed affrontare il viaggio della vita con un sorriso..almeno ci provo:-)
Buon venerdi.

Pietro,
Very impressive the bell tower with a wonderful medieval character! The inscription is perfect to sum up me: Sine sole sileo. I truly LOVE it, I am silent if I can't see sun or sunlight.

On a side note, its wonderful to read your comment (left on my recent post), thanks very much Pietro. What would my life be like without my readers' thoughts?! Best wishes for a nice Friday to you while we are enjoying our (Sweet Festival) holidays until next Mon.

Ciao Pietro, buon fine settimana con un sorriso, maestoso, come le nostre montagne, riservato, come le persone magnifiche che ho conosciuto qui.

Un saluto e Buon week-end Pietro !

Hi Pietro! I’m back!! One week off, one week to deal with the mess created by the absence, a birthday almost no one noticed and a weekend to rest a little bit...

Fabulous sundial!!

Meanwhile Blogtrotter Two is enjoying a fabulous hotel: the Cala di Volpe in Costa Smeralda!! Enjoy, comment and have a great weekend!

I like sundials, and the saying is very true, because we would not be alive without the sun! A very ingenious way to tell the time. I t is also very beautiful "clock"!

SandyCarlson
Thanks for your thoughts today, Pietro. God bless.
