Very interesting stuff! I wonder why the Ferrovia della Stato decided to go with Danish equipment instead of the usual WEGH Group signals.

I guess this adds Italy to the list of countries that have KLD/Danish Bells.
I can't remember all of the countries that do, but here's a couple of videos of KLD bells outside of Scandinavia and Italy.

Cuba.

This bell might actually be a Polish bell now that I think about it. I'm not too sure though, it can be seen at 4:25.


Sri Lanka.


Egypt.


Saudi Arabia.
I couldn't find the bell, but it is audible.

Egypt.
Looks like it's paired with some low-mounted US&S 12x20s!
They/Them for me, please.

Egypt still has some American crossing equipment here and there.
Mainly in the form of US&S Lights and a couple of Teardrop Bells, although those are being replaced.
