Candles
The

is
“It’s
better
to
light
a

to
curse
the
darkness”

from
Ajello’s

their
beauty

a
formula
that
worked

The
formula
combined

his
outstanding
artistic

lead
to
the
birth
of
the
Ajello
Candle

In
1785
the

earned
the
honor
of
creating
all
the

for
the
Vatican
He
and
his
wife

the

keeping
their
children
involved
in
the

from
an
early
age
As
time
went
on
their
children
and
grandchildren
kept
the
business
running
as
well
as
passed
the
family
business
on
to
their
children
By

the

had
established
itself
as

among
the

making
industry
They
