The historic bell tower in the Tuscan town of Pienza, Italy, has been silenced during the night to comply with noise pollution regulations after complaints from B&B owners and residents. However, some locals are now complaining that they can't sleep without the sound of the chimes, which have been ringing for over 500 years. Pienza, with its ancient buildings and hilltop position, is a popular tourist destination and holds significance in Italian and global urban development.
