Landini Tractors
In 1884, Giovanni Landini started a company to manufacture agricultural tractors in order to improve the practice of farming. However, before Landini could produce his first tractor prototype, he passed away in 1924. Carrying on the family business, Landini's sons continued the tractor project and in 1925 they produced the first authentic Italian tractor, a 30 hp product.
