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.[2] In addition to bells, it produces bronze portals, bas-reliefs, and various church artifacts, as well as restoring worn or damaged bells.
