About us

Our story is a beautiful and long one.

Our company was established in 1951 in San Pellegrino, a small village in the Alps, by the brilliant intuition of Giovan Battista Zani.

It all started with an unexpected opportunity, Giovan Battista received two buses in exchange for a loan he had given, at that was the start of  a generational entrepreneurial adventure. Today, we carry on the passion and values of our family.

From the first two buses that traversed the Italian roads in the 1950s, we have grown and diversified, becoming a point of reference in the tourism sector.
