A Vintage Campari longdrink glass with the inscription of the 24h race of Francorchamps & with yellow inscription Campari advertisement Tthese glasses are hard to find. Campari is an Italian bitter flavored liqueur. It is considered an aperitif. The liquor is flavored with herbs & fruits, including Chinotto (citrus fruit) & Cascarilla (a shrub for the flavoring). Campari was invented by Gaspare Campari in 1860 in Novara, Italy. Novara is located in Piemonte, west of Milan. The drink became a success & in 1867 Gaspare opened a bar in Milan, next to the world famous Dome. The bar was named Gaspare’s & there Gaspare himself continued to serve his own mixed drinks & cordials. The Campari turned out to be the most popular one. Gaspare passed away in 1882 & the business was inherited by his sons David & Guido. They quickly started to sell Campari to other bars & restaurants & thereby starting what today is a drink you can find all around the world. in 1904 the production had become so large that Campari opened its first production plant. After the factory was built the international sales got started. Its first place of export was Nice on the French Riviera Not a bad place to enjoy a Campari Spritz if you ask me. in good vintage condition, a little scratch at the backside of the glass long: 15 cm / 5.9 base square 5,5 cm / 2.16 diameter top: 6,7 cm / 2.6 Each item will be very carefully protected, carefully packaged & shipped.
