From Sorrento to the World:
Five Generations of Mastery
The Ajello candle making tradition finds its origins in the coastal town of Sorrento, Italy, established in 1775. For nearly two and a half centuries, the Ajello family has maintained an unbroken chain of craftsmanship, spanning two continents and five generations.
