Marinelli Bells – Pontifical Bell Foundry (Italian: Campane Marinelli – Pontificia Fonderia di Campane) is a bell foundry in Agnone, Italy. Founded no later than 1339, the foundry is one of the oldest family businesses in Italy. In addition to bells, it produces bronze portals, bas-reliefs, church artifacts, and bell restorations. The Marinelli family first started the bell foundry nearly 1,000 years ago in the Apennine hills of Italy, in the Kingdom of Naples. The village of Agnone, a small Italian town of 5,200 inhabitants in the province of Isernia in Molise, is where the foundry is now located. The foundry "has a tradition of foundries that dates back 10 centuries." In 1924, the foundry was awarded "the title of pontifical foundry" by the Vatican. The Roman Catholic Church now accounts for 90 percent of all orders placed for the company. The company is co-owned and operated by brothers Armando and Pasquale Marinelli. The foundry typically produces up to 50 bells a year and currently employs around 12 people. More information...
