    Maria Dolens Award

    "The award “Maria Dolens”
    "On the air" from November 1 to 30 November 2017

    The award, issued by the ARI Committee of Rovereto, was established in November 1976 in order to celebrate and commemorate the monumental “Maria Dolens” , the bell for the Fallen.

    With its large dimension (3,36 m height, 3,21 m diameter and 2260 kg weight) the bell overlooks the town of Rovereto from the “Colle Miravalle” hill.

    “Maria Dolens” is the largest fully functioning swinging bronze bell in the world. Every night, its 100 chimes are intended to remember the Fallen from all wars and call for peace and brotherhood among all peoples on earth.

    The commemorative plaque is a serigraphic reproduction of “Maria Dolens” on a 29x37 cm aluminium plate. It is released in a “basic” version as well a “full” version.

    The “basic” plaque is issued without the 60 flag series (which should be attached in the lower part of the plate), while the “full” version plaque consists of the plate including the self-adhesive flags representing the nations that contributed to the creation of the bell.
