How to interface a (7.5A AC) doorbell and an Arduino?

I have a basic doorbell that I would like to control using my Arduino. The doorbell runs on 220V AC power and is ordinarily controlled through a secondary circuit(??) running 7.5V AC.

My question is - since the control is 7.5V AC, what is the correct way to interface that with my Arduino, which typically outputs 5V DC?
