Visit an Italian Fireworks Factory - Big multi-break canister shells and bottom shots - dry wrap

- Visit a small artisanal fireworks factory nestled in the hills above the ruins of Pompeii near Napoli, Italy. See the Italian dry wrap method of making large, multi-break cylinder shells without the use of wet pasting. No paste means a much faster assembly time.

Man they have the best shop ever lol, making fireworks outside in Italy, man that's a dream!
Complimenti. Avete ripreso dei veri maestri italiani della pirotecnica. Ottimo documento e complimenti alla nostra ditta di punta nel mondo della pirotecnica italiana.
Holy Flash powder ! I could watch people work on shells like this all day. But man look at all that Flash ! I wouldn't be rubbing it like that guy was...
Great video as always! Thanks Jesse!
What Italians call "Contrabomba" is actually a color shell, that is part of a multibreak shell. The bottom shot is called "Controcolpo".
For example, a 3 break Italian shell (called "Bomba da tiro") can have these effects:
1. Intrecci: multiple color inserts that break all at the same time (the "stutata" effect). That's usually the first break because it happens when the shell is still at full speed, so the inserts spread more into the sky.
2. Contrabomba: the large color shell that they build around 8:35
3. Controcolpo: a salute
A bomba da tiro can have a lot more breaks of course. But even the "small" ones are always a piece of art!
Thank you for the clarifications!
It is a fantastic video!!! The so called "fermata" shell made in this video with the superscription "* O" has the effect "(intreccio) + (controbomba)". "*" = intreccio = a mosaic of colour bombettes (8 bombettes in the first break). "O" = controbomba = a large bouquet with a heart of round stars and rings of large cilindrical stars.
The bombettes in a "stutata" shell have a large delay, about 5 seconds or more. The bombettes in an "intreccio" have a short delay.
Really interesting document especially when you show how the stars are stacked in the internal bombs and how they close the shells without glue. A true artisan workshop. As an Italian, chemist and always passionate about pyrotechnics, I can only be proud of it. The only thing I would have done is work with the separate flash powder in small piles, but surely they know that too ... Thanks for the video. Bye bye from Italy. Alex
Many thanks for rare sneak peak behind the mystical curtain of the craft.
Italian multi cylindrical shells are the best!! 🥇
i think maltese do better. they put more effort in quality.
@@beavischrist590% of the Maltese stokers are all of Italian origin and use the techniques of the Neapolitan school because the cylindrical bombs are of Neapolitan invention...they have a more refined workmanship but the effects are the same...👍

@@galileocavallaro No the effects are not the same. For the Maltese, the cylindrical mortals are more made to perfection, take for example the way they spike the mortal as we see in this video, this guy just spiked the cylindrical shell in 2 mins and he's like "yup its done", were as the Maltese take hours on end to make the spike impeccable. Not to mention as well that the Maltese glue their shells and let them dry fully before doing anything else.

I was a stoker for 25 years. I studied to do this... it's true that in Malta they work their shells perfectly but believe me putting more paper and string has no improvement in the final result when firing..it wastes more material and more time but believe me it doesn't improve the effect of the shot I guarantee it👍🙂
@@galileocavallaro I suggest you come to Malta for 2 weeks to see how the effect is "the same".
Love all the passfire videos. I was a member for years until I got disabled and couldn’t afford the fee anymore but I sure learned some great things from all of that information. My homemade press star roller recipes. Well just name it and I probably made it. Great place to go for great information. Wish we had a place in the US to buy nesting hemispheres. Shipping is out of this world to experience just because of Covid and the price of products that skilighter raised after loyde sold the place and the new fella moved it to California. Man what a mess. Use to get some great deals without having to buy 75 or 100 bucks worth of stuff.
This is true Italian Malta Shell wrapping “”, this is the wa😢I learned how to make shells “”, truly Artisan Craft
what a show!! I enjoy building them too .. nice video 💪💪👏👏 a greeting from Italy💪💪
Wow! That looks like very hard work!! 😳
I’ve been doing the dry wrap for thirty years now. I use as little glue on anything as possible. All my multi break shells work just fine with no glue. The Italians has got it down for sure but some still believe in the paste wrap.
Nice video !!! 😉👍🏻
Awesome stuff right there. Thanks for sharing👍🏻
Love this Videos very interesting!! Like
Id give anything to go to Italy to watch them build shells. They seem like they pack way more punch than anyone else in the world. But dont quote me on that, i could he wrong.
they got balls working with that big pile of flash powder
When you see the time,effort and skill that goes into making these shells,it's no wonder they cost as much as they do
Awesome!
One of the best if not the best builder out there!!! Where's the demo on that beauty cylinder tho!!
Thanks Jesse!
No fear with that flash powder 😮
Where can you purchase that tube filling with flash powder
Will there be a display of these things going off at night sometime.
Masters at their work.
Great to watch nothing like the toy crackers we see over here in NZ.
Thank you for sharing.
Adelfia, Italy, Festa del San Trifone, around 9 til 12 november. There’s a video on my channel of last year
Nice
Nice
YO these guys are not afraid of flash holy crap 🫡
No wonder shells and fireworks in general cost so much to buy when each fireworks takes so long to make
How are this company’s able to work flash powder in such mass quantity but not blow up ???
Tamping all those stars and powder makes russian roulette Look like a kids game.
to the layman it looks reckless, but that's years of experience and know how, these men have a great deal of feel for what they're doing. if the stars and burst were that sensitive the shell certainly wouldn't make it out of the gun.
Super
Would have loved to see how those rendini inserts made at the beginning were used in shell construction. Excellent video though!
Did you travel in Greece in Chios rocket war festival at Easter ?
What does a finished piece like that typically cost? Looks like hours of cumulative labor to make one.
In Mexico I can get a 8in multi break cylindrical for -70usd… pretty expensive compared to 8” spherical which are closer to 12-15usd
@@noc4265 what's the difference between multi-break and cylindrical ? I can pretty much guess the multi-break are the ones that project into different directions and then explode?
Awesome vid, very disappointed there was no display of the made shell at the end
Can I please have one!! Haha I'll trade a strobe rocket for one.
It’s an art
Dry wrap shells
Was die wohl kosten mag?😮
jesse hey its david from minnesota hows yah hope alls well masters at there work of art flash is super dangerous i use the ab method i love flashpowder and those huge multibreaks cant beat em in this video a mystery solved how they get 8 breaks in 1 shell there using what they call the tounge fold method then they whack the shell with whatever it is not advisable in my thinking i was drooling looool
❤
Just watched this after same process in Japan. ... well... says a lot about both countries 😂
How long does each of those take to create and how much are they sold for?
I would love to know that flash break charge formula thats tricky to do
70/30 Perchlorate/Aluminum
My guy got a duff shirt on lol.
TGFFF!
19:00 Give me the ingredients and the proportion of the propellant to be put in
Lolll it’s just homemade granulated 2fa bp most likely… a little bit of homework on your part would’ve negated this question
Excellent.. love to see the liberal use of saint's images, no doubt for prophylactic purposes and the whole 5kg dry powder extinguisher with the bird's nest on top..
EU factory safety directives...? What EU factory safety directives..? This is Italy!
With "dry wrap" there is no drying time and that's why I think they chose to do it that way.
Always trust a man in a duff beer shirt
That is stutata shell

@@PassfireMovie awesome, thank you. Have a good holiday season
How much flash do you think is in each salute?
Ps how much flash in their standard bottom shot?
I could never do this. I absolutely hate touching brown paper 🤢
It's a thing 🤷🏻♂️
Gives you the goosebumps right?
@@tjlovesrachel Yeah! You too?
@@Lugh444 lolll sometimes... not all the time ... but I still build fireworks
I love brown paper
