Gaspare Campari
Gaspare Campari (1828–1882) was an Italian drink maker.
Born in Cassolnovo, Lombardy,[1] the tenth child of a farmer[2] he was making drinks at the Bass Bar in Castelnouvo by age 14.[3]
During the 1840s Campari sold a bitters-style aperitif throughout Italy,[4] initially under the name Bitter all'Uso d'Holanda.[5] In 1860 he formulated the product we know today as Campari.[6] His recipe, which Campari keeps confidential, contained more than 60 natural ingredients including herbs, spices, barks and fruit peels.
In 1862[citation needed] he remarried and settled in Milan, the home of his second wife. He ran a cafe in front of Milan's historic cathedral, the Duomo. He also opened up Cafe Campari nearby[citation needed]. His two sons, Davide and Guido, would go on to take over the business,[7] which would become Davide Campari - Milano and Gruppo Campari.
