The Team
Gino Campana
Gino Campana is a father, coach, builder, entrepreneur, and first generation American who has lived the American Dream.
Growing up in Fort Collins, he worked alongside his father, a stonemason.
When starting his own venture as a builder nearly 30 years ago, he began with purchasing and fixing up a small house then selling it– then bought his next house and did it again. Now, he builds world-class large multifamily projects and commercial and residential developments. His company, Bellisimo, is an industry leader in innovative sustainable communities.
Under the leadership of Gino, Bellisimo has built projects across Northern Colorado and helped reimagine neighborhoods with an emphasis on healthy lifestyle and accessible local agriculture. Gino’s passion for hospitality and community have also come to fruition at the award-winning Jessup Farm Artisan Village.
Gino has served on numerous local boards, including the Fort Collins planning and zoning board. As a member of the Fort Collins City Council, Gino leaned on his business experience to oversee a $700 million budget and helped to reduce the city’s debt by over 36% in four years by renegotiating debt and cutting waste.
Gino has built his American Dream brick by brick, but the foundation of his life rests firmly with his wife, Michele, and their four children: Alexandra, Ariella, Maurizio, and Milana.
