The central bell, donated by the Marinelli Foundry, that has been making bells for the Papacy for more than 1000 years, was blessed by Pope John Paul II.
The Pontificia Fonderia Marinelli (or Marinelli Pontifical Foundry, Marinelli Bell Foundry) is the successor of a bell foundry already at work in Agnone, Italy in 1040.

Pope John Paul II was presented the official Jubilee Bell in 2000 that is hung in St. Peters Square.
