(May 2013)<\/p>\n
\u2018Italian Quality\u2019 convention in Moscow, sponsored by the IRA (Italian Russian Association).<\/p>\n
\u2018Premium Quality Guarantee\u2019 and registration in the category \u2018Top Made in Italy\u2019 was granted to Fonderia Artistica Ferdinando Marinelli for the first time at the IRA convention.<\/p>\n
The Fonderia was greeted very favorably during its first participation at the IRA, Moscow which promotes both \u2018Made in Italy\u2019 as well as guaranteeing the quality of partakers products.<\/p>\n
At the convention, Fonderia Marinelli presented a posthumous first edition original of one of the panels of Ghiberti\u2019s \u2018Doors of Paradise\u2019, rendered in gilded bronze after the orginal cast. The work, one of a set of ten panels executed over a period of 27 years by Lorenzo Ghiberti was, upon completion, greeted by Florentines with wonder and amazement for its artistry and refinement of chiselling.<\/p>\n
Franco Barducci, the director of the Fonderia\u2019s showroom \u2018Galleria d\u2019Arte Pietro Bazzanti\u2019 recieved the \u2018Top Made in Italy\u2019 accreditation on its behalf. Inclusion in this exclusive category, selected by the IRA, allows for the use of the \u2018Premium Quality Guarantee\u2019 seal certifying the quality of Italian companies operating in Russia.<\/p>\n
Fonderia Marinelli is known in Moscow for having contributed to the restoration of the Great Kremlin Palace producing works and decorations in bronze for the halls of both St. Andrew and St. Alexander.<\/p>\n
