THE SALERNO CATHEDRAL BELL TOWER: CONVERGENCE OF ARCHITECTURAL FORM, SYMBOLIC MEANING, AND FUNCTIONAL PURPOSE. Medieval bell towers, derived from defensive watchtowers, have rarely been studied as acoustic devices shaping sound transmission. This study examines the 12th century Norman bell tower — adorned with a rich decoration of intertwined round arches — of Salerno Cathedral, the best candidate for searching the match between the bell sound emission and the functional response of the tower bell structure.
