Born in 1911 Mr. Arnaldo Lisarelli was an aircraft engineer for the Italian Air force during World War II. After the war, he worked for a few months in a small company producing manual carbon  heated cones baking machines.  The company owner soon closed down his factory and  Mr Lisarelli decided to go into his own business.  In 1947 he founded his first company ORMA in Rome.
He engineered his own type of manual machine, different from the previous ones and with the best quality materials: a new baking system, automatic falling of the cones and . Post war business boomed and, in the 1950’s , with the growing demand for his machines, he moved to a bigger facility where he continued improving his equipment.
Mr. Arnaldo, found an opportunity to manufacture fully automatic ovens for the growing ice cream cones market. Later, in 1963,  he moved with his sons to a bigger factory in Rome, named A.L.M.A. 
In ALMA he engineered the prototype of a fully automatic cone baking machine, with his son Manlio, with advices from friends and customers. In 1968, the first automatic machine was patented. This automatic machine  after reconditioning, it is still running. 
The automatic machine was a success in Italy and worldwide.
