history
1900
In the early 1900s, Silvio Scandalli started to produce accordions in a small workshop with the help of his family.
1941
The small workshop had developed little by little to become an important company which now employed over 700 workers.
1946
This year was marked by major new perspectives to respond to the emerging markets. The company Scandalli made a merger with the companies Frontalini and Settimio Soprani, developing into FARFISA (Fabbriche Riunite Fisamoniche), that within a short time, became a world leading company in the production of musical instruments.
1950
During the early 1950s, Silvio Scandalli started an ambitious project. Using the company’s best technicians, he created an accordion model of unparalleled quality, which in a short time became the dream of all great accordionists: the Scandalli Super VI. Even today, the Scandalli Super VI continues to be an unsurpassed example of musical instrument quality.
1984
In 1984, FARFISA ceased as multi-product company and the brand Scandalli, after some years of collaboration with Comus-Bontempi, under the direction of Mirco Patarini, Luciano and Leonardo Menghini, returned to its roots as a high quality, accordion only manufacturer.
