There is more to this. What's the difference between "campanile" and "bell_tower" (independently form the tagging scheme)? Hint: the English Wikipedia redirects to the Bell Tower page (no indication that a "campanile" is free-standing)
The English wiki page for "man_made=campanile" says: "A free standing bell tower, typically near a church. " However (nearly) all bell towers in Italy, many of which are free-standing, are tagged as bell_tower. The English wiki page for tower:type=bell_tower says: - bell_tower <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Key:bell_tower&action=edit&redlink=1> =campanile <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:bell_tower%3Dcampanile&action=edit&redlink=1> - free standing bell tower derived from Italian *campana* - bell) - bell_tower <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Key:bell_tower&action=edit&redlink=1> =klockstapel <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:bell_tower%3Dklockstapel&action=edit&redlink=1> - free standing wooden belfry (in Northern Europe) - bell_tower <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Key:bell_tower&action=edit&redlink=1> =bell_gable <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:bell_tower%3Dbell_gable&action=edit&redlink=1> - flat belfry (Spanish *Espadaña*) but the English wiki page for tower:type=campanile shows the photograph of a klockstapel. statistics: man_made=tower + tower:type=campanile (164) man_made=campanile (798) man_made=tower and tower:type=bell_tower (10717) man_made=bell_tower (33) bell tower=klockstapel (15) bell_tower=bell_gable (1) In Northern Italy: (man_made=tower and tower:type=campanile) or man_made=campanile (<200) (not all of which are free-standing) man_made=tower and tower:type=bell_tower (~6000), of which I would guess the large majority are free-standing Conclusion: The wiki pages do not describe the actual use of the tags. In particular the "campanile" tag is rarely used and most free-standing bell towers are tagged as bell_tower (in my view the correct English term) and not with the Italian term "campanile". The campanile tag is used as a variant of bell_tower with no specific distinction with regard to free-standing-ness or not.
