THE ROOTS OF A DREAM
In 1955, it all begins: Domenica Mottini, a young girl from Livigno, marries Emilio Giacomelli. For love, she leaves her mountains and moves to Isolaccia, following her husband. But the call of Livigno is too strong. In 1960, with their three young children – Maurilio, Graziana, and Lelia – the family returns to their valley. Emilio, with courage and vision, starts the construction of one of the first hotels in Livigno. Thus, the seed of a dream is born.
THE BEGINNING OF AN ADVENTURE
In July 1962, Emilio and Domenica's dream comes to life: the Hotel Concordia opens its doors. A small establishment with 26 rooms, but a big soul, made of authentic hospitality, warmth, and attention to every detail. But their energy is inexhaustible. In 1963, Renna Sport is born: the first boutique specialising in fine leather goods, which soon becomes a reference point for those seeking style, quality, and uniqueness.
It is the beginning of a new chapter, where hospitality and fashion intertwine, two worlds that will grow side by side. These are years of enthusiasm and sacrifice, of small and large achievements, that lay the foundations for all that Lungolivigno will become.
GROWTH AND PASSIONS
1972 brings significant changes. The Hotel Concordia doubles its rooms, becoming a landmark for travellers and mountain enthusiasts. These are years of excitement and vitality: the family expands to seven children, and the hotel becomes a home, the beating heart of life and work. In 1978, Domenica transforms the historic shop "Da Giuseppina" into an elegant boutique, opening the doors to a new vision characterised by style and sophistication. During these years, fashion officially enters the DNA of the Giacomelli family, alongside hospitality and laying the foundations for a journey that continues to this day.
THE BIRTH OF LUNGOLIVIGNO
The 1990s represent a decisive turning point. In 1991, Emilio and Domenica transformed the family business into Lungolivigno S.p.A., opening a new chapter filled with vision and ambition. During these years, the Group expanded its offerings by acquiring the Tea del Vidal restaurant, a landmark for lovers of local cuisine, and the prestigious Hotel Lac Salin, destined to become one of the symbolic establishments of the valley. 1996 marks a special moment: Art in Ice is born, the snow sculpture event that transforms Livigno into an international stage. In the same year, Connaction opens, a boutique dedicated to high-quality outdoor clothing.
It is an important step that strengthens the bond between fashion, lifestyle and hospitality, uniting two souls that still today define the identity of the Group. The 1990s are a period of expansion and consolidation with a constant eye on innovation and the territory.
ELEGANCE AND HOSPITALITY
With the arrival of the 2000s, the Lungolivigno Group grows and renews itself, intertwining hospitality, fashion, and lifestyle into a single vision. Lungolivigno Magazine is born, designed to tell stories and inspirations to guests, which ten years later will become Arialpina Magazine.
In 2006, the Hotel Lac Salin was reborn as Lac Salin Spa & Mountain Resort, an elegant 4-star superior establishment where luxury, wellness, and nature meet.
The world of fashion also evolves: boutiques are expanded, new stores are born and Lungolivigno enters the prestigious circuit “The Best Shop”. In 2008, the Lungolivigno Fashion Magazine is born, dedicated to trends and style inspirations. These are years of transformation and consolidation, which strengthen the identity of the Group and lay the groundwork for the great challenges ahead.
EXPANSION AND INNOVATION
2012 marks an important milestone: 50 years of Hotel Concordia. To celebrate the anniversary, the Concordia Lounge Bar & Restaurant is inaugurated, a new symbol of conviviality and elegance.
In 2014, the Group welcomed a new gem: the Grand Hotel della Posta in Sondrio. During these years, the Snow Dream Experience was also born, a unique idea that allows you to sleep in snow igloos under the stars, providing an unforgettable emotion.
2018 brings great news: the LLF e-commerce is launched, the Montivas Lodge, the Group's first sustainable hotel, is inaugurated, and the historic "Da Giuseppina" transforms into LLF Man, a boutique entirely dedicated to men.
In 2019, an ambitious project comes to life: the management of the Curt di Clement in Tirano, an ancient residence, completely renovated, which today combines history, hospitality, and eco-sustainability. These are years of renewal: the Group grows, innovates, and experiments.
NEW CHALLENGES, NEW VISIONS
The 2020s bring unexpected challenges, but the Giacomelli family does not stop. During the pandemic, the Group seizes the opportunity to invest in the future and renew the wellness spaces of the Lac Salin Spa & Mountain Resort, creating an even more special place where well-being meets the Alpine nature. In the same year, the Residence Edelweiss in Valdidentro joins the collection, expanding the hospitality offering.
In 2021, the historic shop Renna Sport transforms into LLF Contemporary Woman: a dynamic and bright environment where fashion, food, and lifestyle merge into a single experience.
2022 marks the beginning of an even more determined path towards sustainability. The role of Sustainability Manager is introduced and a collaboration with Too Good To Go is established to reduce food waste in hotel restaurants. In the same year, Stua Noa - Fine Dining, an exclusive restaurant that celebrates gourmet cuisine, prioritising local and quality ingredients.
THE FUTURE TAKES SHAPE
In 2023, Lungolivigno takes an important step towards sustainability by calculating the Carbon Footprint of the most energy-intensive facilities. A strategic analysis that leads to the definition of a Green Print, a concrete plan to reduce CO2 emissions and improve energy efficiency.
In 2024, within the Hotel Lac Salin, Stua Da Legn is born: the first vegetarian and vegan restaurant in Livigno. An innovative project that celebrates sustainable cuisine and enhances local products. The group also receives the 3 Green Key certifications for the 3 hotels in Livigno.
In 2025, Lungolivigno embarks on a journey of reorganisation and simplification of its brand identity. The fashion division Lungolivigno Fashion finds a new autonomous and distinctive identity: VALICO is born, a name that evokes the mountainous territory, its natural thresholds, and the tension towards discovery.
Today, the third generation of the Giacomelli family takes its first steps within the Group, bringing with it new ideas, enthusiasm and creativity.

OUR STORY
A family history in hospitality and fashion since 1962
Un incontro speciale - quello tra i giovani Domenica Mottini ed Emilio Giacomelli - innesca una storia emozionante che continua ancora oggi.
A forward-looking vision and a bold investment led "Milio" to build one of the first hotels in the Val di Livigno: in 1962, the Hotel Concordia was inaugurated, followed in the years by new hotels, fashion boutiques and high-class restaurants, always managed by the Giacomelli family, which in 2012 celebrates 50 years of activity.
Un testimone prezioso che passa tra mani capaci e attente, dai genitori ai figli, ai nipoti, ai pronipoti: il coraggio imprenditoriale e l'amore per l'ospitalità di Domenica e Milio hanno reso Livigno un piccolo paradiso, e oggi la loro eredità continua con la prossima generazione.
