campaniles
Freestanding Italian belltowers
Campaniles is the plural of campanile, a freestanding bell tower, typically associated with Italian architecture.
The most famous is the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Unlike bell towers built into church structures, campaniles stand apart: The campaniles of Venice rise above the city's rooftops.
The word is Italian, from campana (bell).
