The history of the
Camping Bosco

In 1962 Carlo Gallotti buys the magnificent property in Cannobio and begins to furnish and cultivate it. A campsite and vacation village is to be built here to support the growing tourist importance of Cannobio. Carlo Galotti is a bricklayer, owner of a small business (two employees), and devotes himself to camping with interruptions and when the obligations of the small business allow it.
In 1970, his son Giorgio leaves his job in Milan and takes care of the final preparations and permits for the opening of the
Camping Bosco Cannobio
.
In 1972 the campsite is opened with the following facilities: two sanitary blocks for campers, bar-restaurant-market, reception and the bungalows 1/2/3.
Giorgio is the owner of the company, Papa Carlo owns the property.
1972-1992 The campsite is run as a family business: Giorgio and an external helper, Carlo’s daughter Cesarina runs the restaurant and bar. Her husband Dino and son Vittorino work with her after hours, on holidays and during summer vacations. The family business flourishes and becomes known and loved far beyond the borders of Italy. The restaurant serves mainly spaghetti, fried potatoes, chicken on a spit and vegetable soups.
Ca 1980-85 The bungalows 4 to 14 are built.
1992 Cesarina falls ill and requires dialysis. The family can count on Vittorino’s help, but Cesarina is missing. Giorgio therefore ceases to operate the restaurant. However, with Vanda, an external person is found to support the Camping Bosco family business.

2001 Vanda becomes more and more the leader of Camping Bosco.

2022 Two German families who have been closely linked to Cannobio for many years get to know and appreciate Vittorino. They agree to purchase the traditional Camping Bosco Cannobio and promise Vittorino to continue the campsite and vacation village in the spirit of his family and the long tradition. The campsite and vacation village will be extensively modernized after the end of the 2022 season.
