Bravo
OUR HISTORY
The History Of A Family, Of A Dream, Of Passion
A dream which has been going on for over 50 years.
The history of Bravo is the story of a man whose passion and obstinacy made a dream come true. The founder, Genesio Bravo, was born in 1939 in a small Italian farm village in the province of Vicenza, where he passes his childhood and youth. Those times during the war and after the war are very difficult, but they also provide desire to bounce back.
Genesio Bravo had a dream since he was young: to build something new with his own hands. It is only after a long working career in several important engineering companies in Vicenza that he decides to go it his own. Thanks to a friend’s suggestion he chooses the road of gelato machines.
And so in 1967 Bravo came about.
Following the tradition of those years, the multi-machine system, Genesio begins producing pasteurizers and batch freezers. But this does not satisfy him, while he continues to study how to improve the system, he has this question: why can’t the mixture be pasteurized and batch frozen in just one machine, thus saving time, energy and space?
This is the start of the revolution: in 1974 Genesio deposits the first of a long series of patents: Trittico, the first and only complete laboratory enclosed in just one machine, which in less than one square metre pasteurizes and batch freezes high quality artisan gelato. A patent which radically changes the way of thinking the artisan gelato workshop.
With Trittico a new way of making gelato has begun: the Trittico method, the new Bravo adventure, one machine, inimitable, which is the most copied machine in the world today.
But Genesio does not stop there as his machine is his creature which must progress and always be updated. And so through the years new ideas come about, new expedients making work easier, new generations of machinery are invented, until the current Duo Series.
Trittico today is no longer a gelato making machine, but a true gelato, pastry and catering laboratory which with a complex software and advanced technology is able to control many types of processes automatically, at the same time respecting tradition and the creativity of the professional.
The company continues to grow thanks to the continuity of the new generation: Giuseppe Bravo the managing director of the company and Stefano Bravo the engineer in charge of the research and development department.
The company grows a lot and started to open many branches worldwide: Bravo France in Paris, Bravo Asia in Singapore, Bravo North America in Charlotte, Bravo Deutschland in Munich and Bravo Middle East in Dubai.
The story of Bravo goes on: it is the story of a dream, of an adventure. It is the story of a family, which works every day with commitment and passion. It is the story of over fifty years of unending innovation.
BRAVO IN THE WORLD

And coming to know you through our Trittico Club and through direct contact, we have understood that in order to do so our sales network, which today includes over 200 dealers and distributors throughout the world, was not enough.
We felt the need to be more radically present in your territory, and this is why we founded some branches worldwide such as Bravo France, Bravo Asia and Bravo North America. Our project is to continue in this direction to be even closer to our customers.
This is the only way to remain true to our philosophy: to support the work of our customers day by day.

MASTER ARTIST FOR THE APC TROPHY
Antoinette Rozan
Antoinette Rozan, born in 1970, comes from a lineage of five generations of artists, engravers, sculpors and architects.
After a career in luxury sales in France and Hong Kong, she discovered her passion and what gives her freedom: sculpting in clay or plaster, plying metal, letting herself go and guiding herself by the medium itself to create shapes. A real paradox for an artist that can see only out on one eye!
She focuses her research on energy, movement, the mystery of matter that creates illusions: bronze seems to be light, a face hides another, there is a balance where it would seem impossible…
The artist invites us to share the field of possibilities. Her creativity shows us how life is movement. After living in Hong Kong for ten years, she developed a sensibility to the spiritual way of thinking that is customary in Asia.
The sculptor’s work has been commissioned by private collectors, public and private organisations, associations and companies. She has created works as different as portraits, memorials, trophies, monumental sculptures and original works for her patrons. Antoinette Rozan likes the challenge of putting her creativity to use and creating art that adapts either to a strict demand or having her freedom of creation.
