Cappelli S.A. was established in 1885 in Milano, Italy, by Michele Cappelli. The company produced and marketed only sensitive materials until the end of 1st World War, when it started marketing under its own brand name some OEM-produced simple box cameras.
After the death of Michele Cappelli (30 January 1935) the company was taken-over by Ferrania and took the name "Fabbriche Riunite Cappelli e Ferrania". In 1938 the name Cappelli was dropped from the company name and so definitively disappeared.
Cameras
Cappelli cameras original producer(s) is(are) not known with certainty. Some of these were however very probably produced by Fiamma of Florence. For example, the Capppelli Box 6×4.5 is completely identical, except for the decoration of the front, to the Fiamma Fiammetta.
