The parish Website opens with a series of photos of the various churches; the first is San Lorenzo, and its bell tower is partially visible.

The Italian Wikipedia article about the church has a photo of the tower, and includes a brief description of the bells.

A page about the architectural history of the church has one photo that shows part of the tower, and a paragraph describing it (but not the bells).
