Campari

Italian manufacturer of alcoholic beverages based in Novara in 1860 by Gaspare Campari. In 1842, at the age of 14 years, Gaspare Campari was working in "Caffè liquoreria Bass" in Turin, Italy. The work is transformed into a passion, and he quickly learns how to distill experimenting with new teas. He shares his days at the coffee shop with fellow Aragno and Martini: together will mark the habits of  Italian drinking. Aragno will open a cafe in Rome, in front of Palazzo Chigi, while Martini will become a major producer of  Vermouth. In 1860, now an expert distiller, he moved to Novara and opens the "Caffè dell’amicizia" (Coffee of friendship). Here begins the production of the first liquors labeled with his name: “Olio di Rhum” (Oil of Rhum), “Elisir di lunga vita” (Elixir of long life) and “Rosa Campari” (Rose Campari). It's the debut of “Fabbrica di Campari Gaspare Liquorista” (Factory Gaspare Campari liqueur). Between 1862 and 1867, in the gallery of Milan, he create the “Bitter all’uso d’Hollanda” (Bitter at use of Hollanda). The immediate success baptizes the new drink with the name of the inventor: born "Campari Bitter". Today Campari is no longer simply the namesake liquor manufacturer, but has turned into the Campari Group, one of the leading companies in the global beverage brand with over 40 brands of premium and super premium, which distributes more than 190 Countries around the world.
