Mandello Factory Status

[Orson]

I remember a bit of a dust up about a year ago regarding the closing of the factory in Mandello

 

Has that happened or is there still production going on in Mandello?

Nope, still open:) I was just there about 3 weeks ago. They are planning a renovation of the building, but not closed...fortunately I think that was mostly just us getting all worked up about nothing.

That's good to know

 

I remember they had a protest rally in the Mandello city park but, it was an Italian style protest with a live blues band and lottsa food

I saw a factory worker on what had to be the next version of the Stelvio come roaring through the gates while I was there, back tire sliding all over the place and making a hell of a racket Pretty nice looking. The nice lady working the gift shop said they don't sell anything out of the factory. I think Agostini's is the first place out of the gates you can buy one.
