Career
Occupation: engineer, entrepreneur.4
After graduating with an engineering degree in 1909, Garelli went to work for Fiat. Garelli left Fiat in 1911 when they did not express interest in his ideas for a 2 stroke motor. Between 1911 and 1919 Garelli worked for several motorcycle companies: Bianchi and Stucchi. During this time Garelli patented a 3 speed gearbox and a 2 stroke 2 cylinder engine.
From 1911 to 1914, Garelli patented a split single engine which used a single connecting rod and long wrist pin which passed through both pistons. He produced a 350 cc (21 cu in) split-single motorcycle engine for road use and racing from 1918 to 1926.
By 1919 Garelli started his own motorcycle engine company named Garelli. In the 1960s and 1980s Garelli's motorcycle company won many awards for long distance and Grand Prix motorcycle racing.
