A 60-inch rotational ceiling fan from Matthews Fans, designed for large living rooms and covered outdoor spaces, finished in Ametista metal.
The Italo Ventania is the largest rotational fan in the Matthews Fan Co collection. Its vortex-sculpted arms grasp side-mounted fan heads in gentle, equatorial rotation. The fan heads can be infinitely positioned in 180-degree arcs for optimum air movement; the greater the angle of the motor to the horizontal support rods, the faster the axial rotation. This handcrafted fan combines cast aluminum, heavy spun and stamped steel, and genuine marbleized Bakelite details for a distinctive contemporary transitional look.
Best for
- Large living rooms and great rooms, providing efficient air circulation without the bulk of a traditional paddle fan
- Covered patios, porches, and sunrooms, thanks to its damp-rated construction
- Open-plan spaces where a sculptural, artistic ceiling feature is desired
- High ceilings with the included 10-inch downrod, extendable with additional downrods (sold separately)
- Rooms with 29-degree vaulted ceilings when paired with the optional canopy accessory
Not ideal for
- Coastal, saltwater, or chlorine environments, as the manufacturer advises against these locations
- Low ceilings under 8 feet without a safety cage (sold separately) to maintain safe clearance
- Spaces requiring a light kit, as this fan does not include or support one
