Troughout the 18th and 19th centuries the “House of Mari” also operated a metal foundry that manufactured church bells. In 1913, the two brothers, Emilio and Olinto Mari lef the family business to seek new opportunities in America. Tey settled in New York City where they produced both gut and steel strings in a small factory in lower Manhattan. Te business expanded in 1922 with the opening of a second factory in Lanciano, Abruzzi. At the 1927 “First Exposition Trade Show” of Tripoli, North Africa, the Italian government awarded the “Gold Medal Diploma” to the company for their dedication and excellence as manufacturers.

Changing locations in 1981, the factory’s present site is in Newburgh, New York. Today La Bella Strings / E. & O.
