The official Website is only one page, mostly in Maltese but with some English.  It offers only a small sketch of the building, a schedule of masses and an advertisement for a museum.

The English Wikipedia article on the basilica has a photo of it (clickable for very large version) but does not mention any bells.  The Italian version is much shorter, and offers a different photo of the building.

A tourism Website has a rotating series of photos, and a description (in English).

The diocesan Website has contact information and a more detailed history of Ta' Pinu, in English.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of the Petit & Fritsen bellfoundry, in this region and in the world.
