The Ferdinando Marinelli Artistic Foundry (abbreviated as FAFM), is a bronze foundry based in Florence, Italy. It uses the Renaissance-era technique of lost-wax. The foundry has created numerous bronze sculptures over the past century. Among its notable works is the 1988 casting of the 'La Fontana del Porcellino', a replica of Pietro Tacca's boar statue, which replaced the antique version in Florence's Loggia del Mercato Nuovo in 1998.
