Missing Apostrophe?

A vintage ice cream parlour run by the Furellis.
Am I missing an apostrophe in Furellis? i.e. Furelli's?
Thanks,
Lorraine

No, Lorraine. It's a plural. One Furelli, two or more Furellis. (Course, only in English, not Italian!)

Or, of course, just to confuse things
A vintage ice cream parlour run by the Furellis' aged mother-in-law...

The fortunes of the family owed in large part to Algernon Furelli's innovation when he modified the family ice-cream van to play Beethoven, achieving almost overnight market recognition for his slogan;
"Hear the Für Elise? Hear comes Furellis!"
