- description
- Bontempi was a coin-op maker in [[location:italy/rm/rome]] whose place in the pinball record rests on a single machine, *[[model:action-bontempi]]*, an Italian copy of a game by Chicago's [[manufacturer:chicago-coin]]. It should not be confused with the far better-known Bontempi of the Marche — the musical-instrument dynasty that Paolo Bontempi grew out of a small accordion business his father Egisto had started in 1937, eventually employing around a thousand people at Potenza Picena, a wholly separate company in another region.[1]

From the small accordion workshop founded by his father Egisto in 1937, Paolo Bontempi was able to build an industrial empire. [...] Bontempi had up to a thousand employees in the 1970s, with factories in Potenza Picena, Martinsicuro and San Claudio di Corridonia
