Ercole Marelli was the first Italian ceiling fan manufacturer, starting in Milan in 1891 with the production of ‘electrical air agitators’. At the time, the most popular ceiling fans were usually American - known to be big and heavy. Marelli built a series of elegant alternating-current fans, which were lighter, more elegant, and most of all, convenient and practical for domestic use.
