The Cavadini dinasty, which started in 1792 with Luigi and ended with Luigi II, due to a lack of heirs, in 1974, moved to Verona in 1812, originally residing in Montorio. They melted several and renowned bells, praised under that specific point of view. The Cavadini's workshop we see, located in Via XX Settembre in Verona, has likely finished to melt the main bell for the Santa Maria Assunta Cathedral in Verona, together with other nine minor bells of the same set. Ettore Cavadini (1872-1962), the owner of the workshop in that period, is the mantesting the bell with that sort of hammer, before getting closer to the camera, jolly. However, after the blessing of the bells in MAy 1931, the main one cracked, and was melted again in 1934, before breaking again in 2003 - and it now has a good show at the entrace of the bishop's palace in Verona.
