The secret formula of the master craftsman.
The Ajello reputation was built on more than just visual beauty. Antonino Ajello Sr. developed a secret family formula that produced sweet-scented formulations, setting his candles apart from ordinary wax products.
This dedication to quality materials extends to the present day. For the entertainment industry, the formula was adapted to burn cleanly and consistently, ensuring that flames look authentic on camera without causing smoke issues on set.
Designed to burn for 24 hours once a year, this 18-foot giant has a projected lifespan of nearly two millennia.
A collaboration between Antonino Sr. and Jr., requiring half a year of dedicated hand-crafting to complete.
Created in 1921 for the great Italian opera singer Enrico Caruso, reflecting the deep cultural ties of the Ajello family.
"A work of art and religious devotion."
