      The clock was designed in 1867 by Giovanni Battista Embriaco, a Dominican friar with a passion for clocks. It works thanks to water, which falls from above and fills two elongated basins shaped like leaves (similar to two scale plates), balanced on a pivot. The two basins oscillate and activate the mechanism that turns the hands, thus indicating the time. The flow of water also moves the pendulum and winds the chime. In short, a true work of engineering.
