Leaning Tower of Pisa
On the 8th floor, there are 7 bells in the bell chamber that was added to the Tower of Pisa in 1372. Each bell was used to play a note on the musical major scale and the largest bell was added to the chamber in 1655. These bells were silenced in the 20th century during restoration as it was believed that the bell vibration could worsen the tilt of the tower. The bells are now rung electronically and do not swing.

The two species of plovercrests occur in the Atlantic Forest region of eastern South America, but do not overlap geographically: Green-crowned Plovercrest is restricted to southeastern Brazil (from southern Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo south to northeastern São Paulo), whereas Purple-crowned Plovercrest Stephanoxis loddigesii occurs from eastern Paraguay and northeastern Argentina to southern Brazil (north to central São Paulo). This is a young male at Campos do Jordão.
