Italian pioneer Alexander Anzani constructed engines for aircraft and motorcycles from 1907 in France. Later he founded a company in Milan and in 1922 constructed a V Twin 500 cc ohv and some sidevalve versions of 750 and 1000 cc. 

His early designs included a three-cylinder 25 horsepower motorcycle engine which in 1909 powered one of Sikorsky's first helicopters. In 1913 he had seven different aircraft engines available, one of which was a two-row 10 cylinder radial. Perhaps his strangest motorcycle was built in 1906. It had a tractor mounted propellor. Another oddity was the Anzani Stayer of 1929 which had a thick belt driving a huge disc attached to the rear wheel...

Bismarck and Universal were among the users of Anzani engines. There was also a firm named British Anzani.
