Apparently change ringing, or something similar, is practiced in Verona. But otherwise it seems unique to the UK, or UK influenced cultures.

  Interesting, but the wikipedia article states that "they play slowly moving tunes, not the continuous change ringing of the English tradition" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veronese_bell_ringing https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veronese_bell_ringing So unless you have another reference...? (You did say "something similar" to be fair)

    Here you go: https://www.whitingsociety.org.uk/articles/basic-tuition/italian-call-changes.html https://www.whitingsociety.org.uk/articles/basic-tuition/ita... There are a fair few videos on YouTube as well.

      That link (like the Wikipedia article) is talking about the mechanism by which the bell is rung, not what is rung out on them i.e. they are not ringing the changes.

        It's got compositions on the page, a link to a PDF with compositions in it and a link to the Veronese ringing association which has many more examples - if you can read Italian.

          Ah, I stand corrected. I couldn't listen to the examples last night so I have egg on my face this morning :)

            I hadn't completely checked it either FWIW so worth asking the question. It does sound slightly different as they use chords.
