Gastaldi Global DMC

It’s a family business…
Gastaldi was founded in Genoa, Italy in 1860 as a shipping and transportation company and belongs to the Cerruti family.
By the 1950s, Gastaldi had become a global leader in shipping services and general transportation. In 1960 Gastaldi became the agent of the first foreign airlines with regular service to Italian airports. A couple of decades later, Gastaldi became the leading outbound Italian Tour Operator for leisure travel to the U.S. In the 1990s Gastaldi entered the Incentive Travel field, acting both as an Italian DMC for international companies and an Incentive House for Italian companies. The Cerruti family retains full ownership to this day, making Gastaldi one of the few family-owned companies in Italy.
