Some residents, though, were not happy. A dozen of them protested by banging pots and lids in the street.
Anna Daneri, who led the protest, said that early Wednesday morning, after a few pot-banging protest sessions, the church bells started chiming again. They ring every morning at 7 a.m. and a few more times throughout the day.
Daneri said the sound of the bells "keeps the elderly company," and is a tradition of the centuries-old village.
