Terza From: Institue and Museum of the History of Science:

Terza, cast in 1473, weight 300 Kg. (660 lbs.)





From: "Leaning Tower of Pisa, A Very Detailed Artistic Description" :

The two other bells are situated in the upper arcades. On South there is the bell called "Terza" (because it is the custom to ring it at the third canonical hour about 9 a.m.). It bears interesting black-letters recently deciphered by Professore Biagi: Messer Antollio of ]acopo Operaio MCCCCLXXIIII. (1474)
