Mantegazza Sergio e Geo e Albek Mario.
The Mantegazza family, originally from Lombardy,
settled in the Tessin in 1764, initially in the
Mendrisio area and then Lugano. The first steps in
the growing tourism industry were taken by Antonio
Mantegazza, the father of the current owners. In
1928, he founded "Globus", initially as an
incoming travel agency with its own fleet of
coaches.
The launch into the internationalisation of their
tourism activities began after the end of the
Second World War when Antonio's young sons Sergio
and Geo divided the tasks. Sergio's activities,
together with the Albek family, expanded gradually
but consistently into the international field but
in particular in England and the United Sates
elevating "Holding Globus" to be a world leader in
the travel industry. At that time, they founded
their airline company Monarch, today one of the
most recognized and acknowledged private airlines
