20 Top Surnames in Italy. According to an article in http://italian.about.com/od/italianculture/a/aa111704a.htm, written by Michael San Filippo, the top 20 surnames in Italy appear below. I have also included the meaning for each as well as alternate spellings. Russo and Rossi seem to be the most common.
Heat the lead until it melts. Turn on your heat source and adjust the heat to its highest setting, if applicable. Apply the heat as directly to the lead as possible. Lead melts at a temperature of 328 degrees Celsius (621 degrees Fahrenheit), so it will take time to melt a large amount of lead. Since most lead you use will not be pure, you will have impurities ('dross') float to the top.
Wood's metal has a slightly higher melting point (near 160F/70C) and is less expensive, but it contains lead. Aluminum melts at about 1221 degrees Fahrenheit, which is a heck of a lot hotter than MY oven goes. My guess is you need special equipment both to melt metals and to handle them afterward. I wouldn't try it at home.
