Massimo Emma
Massimo Emma brought his dream to life in 2009, founding Il Glicine together with Martina. Over the years he expanded his vision with new ventures, eventually creating the world of EMMAPP.
EMMAPP is the name the Emma family gave to everything they have built, starting from a restaurant on Lake Viverone.
Our story
“Welcoming people as if they were walking into our own home: that is where everything started.”
2009
Il Glicine opens
Massimo Emma and Martina Busca open Il Glicine on the shore of Lake Viverone: a seafood restaurant with the finest view of the lake.
Then
The group grows
Emma Lake, Emma Residence and the Acqua di Lago campsite follow, and nearby the Hotel Ristorante La Torretta in Bianzè: sleeping, dining and celebrating in the same style.
Today
From lake to sea
With Hotel Ala Bianca the group reaches the Gulf of Poets in Liguria. Andrea and Edoardo, the new generation, are leading EMMAPP into the future.
Every guest is first of all a person: we remember their name, and what they like.
The lake, the hills, the countryside, the sea: we share the places we live in through food and experiences.
A group that stays a family: decisions made close by, people who are there, the same care in every venue.
The people
A vision and a passion for the territory and for hospitality, carried forward with energy by the group’s new generation.
