When the Gelato Exhibition in Longarone took placefor the first time in 1959,  Bovo was one of the 18 bold companies which took the responsibility of promoting the real Italian  gelato, arousing great interest on the machines especially designed and realized for itsproduction and favouring their technical evolution.

Actually, the history of Bovo started 15 years earlier, when Mr. Bruno Pillon, railwayman, decided to start the production of accessories and machines for the gelato with the help of some colleagues, using some cast iron pieces and other disused materials of the Italian state railways “Ferrovie dello Stato”.
