Fascinating journey into the artand history of bell-making
Pontificia Fonderia Di Campane Marinelli的点评
点评:Agnone’s main attraction is the historic Marinelli bell foundry, in operation for ~ 1000 years, rendering it possibly the oldest family run business in the world (currently its 27th generation!). Agnone has historically been the centre of bell-making, but Marinelli is the only unit still in operation. Many church and clock tower bells are produced here, including for the Vatican and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. They use the Papal Coat of Arms in their bells as they were granted this privilege by Pope Pio XI in 1924. There are bells publicly displayed outside, but the museum and foundry can only be visited with a guide (they were very kind to accommodate us in an English tour, costs 9euro). The tour includes a video and explanation of the bellmaking process (fascinating), a walkthru of the foundry itself and a fun session where the bellmaster rings some bells with some familiar tunes (we recognised Jingle Bells!).
翻译:阿尼奥内最吸引人的景点是历史悠久的马里内利铸钟厂,该厂已有约1000年的历史,可能是世界上最古老的家族企业(目前已传承至第27代!)。阿尼奥内历史上一直是制钟的中心,但马里内利是唯一仍在运营的工厂。许多教堂和钟楼的钟都产自这里,包括梵蒂冈和比萨斜塔的钟。他们的钟上镌刻着教皇盾徽,这是1924年教皇皮奥十一世授予他们的特权。博物馆和铸钟厂的钟对外开放,但参观必须有导游陪同(他们非常友好地安排了英语导览,费用为9欧元)。导览包括观看制钟过程的视频和讲解(非常精彩)、参观铸钟厂本身,以及一个有趣的环节,钟师会用一些熟悉的曲调敲响钟声(我们认出了《铃儿响叮当》!)。
