Campari was created by the talented Gaspare Campari, master drink maker, who gave birth to a brand that would later go on to be
enjoyed around the world.
"We are proud to be able to open a gallery that will allow visitors to fully experience the essence of our brand," explains Bob
Kunze-Concewitz, CEO Gruppo Campari. "Visitors will gain a unique experience of the worlds of art, communication and photography
that over the years have secured the uniqueness and appreciation of our brand worldwide. The 150th anniversary is for us an

fundamental element of our daily commitment."
As well as opening the Galleria, Campari is launching the Campari Art Label project. Three artists - avaf, Tobias Rehberger and
