The Ferdinando Marinelli Artistic Foundry (Fonderia Artistica Ferdinando Marinelli, abbreviated as FAFM) is an Italian bronze casting workshop that produces original sculptures and recreations using the Renaissance-era technique of lost-wax casting. It was established in Florence in 1905.
Works associated with the foundry include the 1998 La Fontana del Porcellino in Florence’s Loggia del Mercato Nuovo, the Arlington Memorial Bridge approach statue Sacrifice and a sculpture of the United Nations' Celestial Sphere Woodrow Wilson Memorial.
