Alessandro Nelli

Alessandro Nelli (Rome, 28 January 1842 Russia?, after 1897) was an Italian entrepreneur. Nelli was the founder of the Fonderia Nelli (Nelli Foundry), which was the leading foundry in Rome from 1880 to 1900. He participated to national, international and universal exhibitions, winning several prizez and medals: in Chigago's 1893 he exported from Rome more than 100 pieces. Nelli worked for a number of artists, both Italian and foreigners - among them several Americans - producing their artistic bronzes.
