Not a Bell Tower...a Campanile!

Well, it technically IS a bell tower...but from now on, I'm going to sound far more intelligent when I refer to it as a campanile (pronounced kam-puh-nee-lee).

As far as I knew, Campanile was once a restaurant located in Los Angeles...but THIS lovely one is located at St. Jude's Ranch for Children and per the plaque at its base, was erected in 1980 as a memorial and tribute to Shirly Vanda by her family and friends.
