Gardaland, the first amusement park in Italy

By: Noemi Curti

It was 1975 when Gardaland opened its doors for the first time. This was the first amusement park in Italy, located close to Lake Garda.

Gardaland, a success story

How was Gardaland? Thanks to the merchant Livio Furini who was delighted by his visit to Disneyland, California, and decided that Italy deserved a similar place. So, he founded a company with his friend Flavio Zaninelli and, along with others, they gave life to the first theme park in Italy.
