The history of the Colbachini foundry, which closed in 2006 (though the company still exists doing other work), is recounted in an Italian Wikipedia article.
It began in 1732, in Bassano, and later moved to in Padua. It was designated Pontifical Foundry in 1898. Since 1990, it has been part of the prestigious international association Les Hénokiens.
