Alfonso Forni: A History of Passion and Innovation



A Story of Passion and Innovation

ALFONSO FORNI represents the evolution of a family tradition rooted in the production of refractory biscuits and cooking materials, with a history intertwined with the glorious past of our land.

From these solid foundations, we have grown to become a point of reference in the world of wood-fired ovens, not only in Italy but also in Europe and the United States. Our dedication and entrepreneurial spirit have allowed us to constantly innovate while keeping the passion that has guided us from the beginning intact.



Our Origins Icon Our Origins

Our journey into the world of wood-fired ovens begins with Nunzio Alfonso, a man of great vision and passion. After years of commitment and sacrifice, he decided to put the experience he had gained in the field to good use by dedicating himself to the design and production of wood-fired ovens. This led to the creation of the "Bazarnuele" company in Giammoro, a small town in the province of Messina, specializing in indirect cooking ovens, an innovation that quickly conquered the market.



Growth and Evolution Icon Growth and Evolution

With the success of our cooking solutions, the need to expand production became increasingly pressing. This led us to move to a new and larger facility in the Giammoro Industrial Zone, a state-of-the-art plant that allowed us to make a significant leap in quality. With the acquisition of state-of-the-art machinery and the expansion of our team, NUNZIO ALFONSO S.R.L. was born, a modern company that brings together all production, logistics, and storage activities under one roof. Today, our plant is geared towards a 4.0 approach and can handle up to 60,000 kg of raw materials, with advanced technologies such as:

  • TRUMPF Laser with 2500 Watts.

  • CUTLIFE PENTA Laser with 6000 Watts.

  • VICLA Press Brake with 110 tons capacity.

  • MIG - TIG Welding Station.

  • Epoxy Powder Coating System.
