E. J. Parlanti

Bronze founder. Ercole Felipo Giacomo Parlanti was born in Rome. He and his older brother Alessandro worked at the Nelli foundry in Rome before moving to London. After his arrival in the UK he used the name Ercole James Parlanti. His 3 children were born in Fulham. Around 1917 Ercole started up his own foundry at substantial premises at Beaumont Works, Beaumont Road, West Kensington. By 1929, Parlanti was operating out of premises in Winders Road, Battersea. Died in Acton Hospital.

Information from Parlanti Bronze Foundries which has full information about the Parlanti family and their work.

October 2024: Although Ercole died in Acton, where he had lived from 1939 until his death in 1955, he was buried in Fulham Cemetery. He had originally bought a plot to bury his infant son Attilio who had died in 1905 at only 10 months old. When Ercole's wife died in 1944 she too was buried there, and finally Ercole in 1955.  Full details at Fulham Cemetery Friends.

We are grateful to Steve Parlanti for sharing his researches with us and for this photograph which shows Ercole Parlanti c.1929-30 with his daughter, Olga. Regarding the grave memorial, Steve tells us that the dates there are the dates of burial and not the dates of death, and Ercole is twice misspelt there as Ecole.

If you have any information about the Parlantis Steve would love to hear from you: steveparlanti@hotmail.com.
