Achievement
Among the names that stand out are those of entrepreneurs such as Pietro Begali (Commendatore) of Brescia, whom President Sergio Mattarella ( Italian Government Minister) wanted to award even without being a Knight of Labour "for special merits du e to his entrepreneurial history and international successes in the world of telecommunications"
A life of genius between patents and mechanical work.
The Commendatore
A craftsman known throughout the world is known for his innovative telegraph keys.
"On Friday I celebrated 71 years of uninterrupted work. I did not expect this recognition. I have always worked honestly and perhaps for this reason I have never made money…" Pietro Begali, entrepreneur from Brescia, does not abandon his usual Tuscan Cigar, smoking occasionally while talking at the door of his milling workshop. He expresses himself in refined Italian that does not hide his education and sharp mind. Born in 1938, with over 50 patents in the sector of knitting machines and telecommunications. "Not much, just the fruit of intuition..." he downplays. In his life he supplied telegraph keys to Motorola, he never failed to help Ari (Associatone Radioamatori di Brescia) and anyone who asked for help. His name is known throughout the world for the new generation telegraph keys that he produces at Begali Keys Factory in Cellatica: "Little stuff..." But in that little stuff there is the value of an entire life.
