Giovanni Magnani (fl. 1913) was a Romanian-Italian entrepreneur who lived in Bucharest at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1911 he fabricated a set of propellers for A Vlaicu II airplane, thus becoming the first propeller manufacturer in Southeast Europe.
Before meeting Vlaicu, Magnani built around 1910 in Bucharest an ornithopter that never flew.[1][2]
