Montivas Lodge

Once upon a time…just like in all the best stories, there was a lovely young girl from Livigno, Domenica Mottini, who met and fell in love with Emilio Giacomelli, a handsome young man from Isolaccia. Their dreams were crowned in 1955.

Hotel Concordia opens its doors in 1962, one of the first hotels in Livigno, a farsighted investment for the future of the family. The hotel management is a demanding job, and the children also lend a hand. The life of the family is closely intertwined with the hotel. In 1972 the Giacomelli clan, which now counts seven children (Maurilio, Graziana, Lelia, Andrea, Paolo, Fabio and Matteo), moves into the Hotel Concordia.

It is not by chance that the art of hospitality is in the Giacomelli DNA! The years pass, the children grow up, they go away to study, but then they come back and find their place in the family business, which in the meantime has become a company, Lungolivigno SPA. Now it’s the grandchildren’s turn: 18 young people full of energy and enthusiasm. The third generation of Giacomellis are gradually finding their way in the world of Lungolivigno. They discover their aptitudes as they hold down summer jobs and work out what they would like to do when they grow up. Some of them are already sure of their path. Nicola joined the staff a few years ago and works as a ski instructor in winter and mountain bike guide in summer. Rebecca is the Deupty Manager of Hotel Lac Salin SPA & Mountain Resort, Daniel has started a new challenge with the management of the new Montivas Lodge. In the meanwhile the number of great-grandchildren is growing, and there are now 8 fourth generation Giacomelli.
