Photographer's Note
Siamo a Tolentino, la città è stata colpita dal terremoto del 2016 e i segni sono evidenti, sono rimasto colpito dai palazzi messi in sicurezza, ma questa torre con questo splendido orologio è rimasta intatta.
In piazza della Libertà, sulla destra rispetto al Palazzo Comunale, si innalza il campanile della Chiesa di San Francesco che, per la presenza di un singolare orologio, è divenuto ormai il simbolo della Città.
L’ orologio ha una macchina collegata a quattro quadranti che indicano, le fasi lunari, le ore italiche, l’ora astronomica e i giorni della settimana e del mese. E’ opera di Antonio Podrini di Sant’Angelo in Vado che lo costruì nel 1822.
I quattro quadranti contengono:
1° – LE FASI LUNARI
2° – OROLOGIO ITALICO con le ore – (III-VI) Mattutino – (VI-III) Ora Terza – (III-VI) Ora Sesta – (VI-III) Ora Nona – (III-VI) Vespro – (VI-III) Compieta
3° – OROLOGIO ASTRONOMICO
4° – GIORNI MESE E SETTIMANA Sotto i quattro quadranti c’è la meridiana solare.

Bonjour, cher Carlo,
Un grand merci pour ce partage historique fort bien présenté.
J'ai beaucoup apprécié la description de la tour d'horloges avec leur affectation particulière.
Malgré le séisme, l'édifice n'a pas été touché, une protection divine !
Très bonne journée.
Amitiés.

Hello Carlo,
It's an interesting and elegant photo of the tower giving such a lot of information. There is a pleasant light and I only feel sorry that so much else in this town had been destroyed or damaged in the earthquake.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Carlo,
A great view of this tower and its three different clocks. I really like the contrast of the warm colours and the blue sky. Also the clouds have got a nice and warm glow. Good sharpness and clarity.

Hi Carlo
excellent note, giving us the details of the 4 clocks and their purpose. Sorry to hear about the earthquake, I would only image the damage to some of these old stone buildings.
Glad to see this one is ok. Easy to see why its become a symbol for the city. excellent TE post for its subject content, note, and photo. cheers

Ciao Carlo,
I adore such Orologi withn different indication like you described on the note. It was worth taking the photo even as light was not so favorable - it is a unique aparatus that rightly draws attention.
My best regards, saluti,
Ike
