If you want to find unconditional love, travel to Southern Italy. This past week, the New York City Fire Museum returned to the Marinelli Foundry in Agnone, Italy to begin the journey of bringing our World Trade Center Responder Bell home. It was simple, the bell deserved to be transported back in a respectful manner. The plan? The Vigili del Fuoco, accompanied by the museum, would drive ten hours from Agnone to Naval Air Station Sigonella, Sicily, where the bell would be transported on a U.S. military aircraft back to the United States. Twenty hours, halfway across Italy and back, we thought the Vigili del Fuoco might say no, boy were we wrong. After being saluted by two volcanoes (Vesuvio and Etna), and a lot of espresso, the bell made it safely to Naval Air Station Sigonella. The Marinelli Foundry and the Vigili del Fuoco delivered with love and respect, and we will forever be grateful to them. Thank you to Leno and Settimio for safely transporting our bell. We’re now on to the next leg of the trip. Stay tuned!
