My favorite new article this week is about Gaudentz Hemple who created church bells in the 17th Century in Switzerland. His bells can be found all over Grisons (Kanton Graubünden) in Switzerland.
This is all for this week. Have a great week and let me know if you have any questions, suggestions, or comments.
Best,
Julia
