The amusement industry's most comprehensive new and used ride brokerage source, Italian Rides, was created by Carlo Guglielmi, a veteran with 46 years in the amusement industry. Italian Rides provides professional amusement ride brokerage and sales services for new amusement rides and used amusement rides. The company represents several manufacturers of new amusement rides and serves the amusement park, theme park, carnival, family entertainment center, and location based entertainment markets.
During his 46-year career, Guglielmi has acquired both the experience and reputation of a seasoned professional with a broad understanding of the operation of amusement facilities and the impact of ride purchases on paid attendance. He started his career in 1978 providing structural analysis calculation of amusement rides at Zamperla s.p.a., Italy. In 1979 Guglielmi moved to the US to become General Manager of Zamperla USA, where his responsibilities included sales, service, repair and import-export of amusement rides.
Following that, he formed Italian Rides LLC, a full service ride brokerage company and the US sales and service office for Sartori Rides, Italy. He holds a degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Padua, Italy and a diploma of Registered Engineering. This technical background has provided Guglielmi with an extensive knowledge of the mechanical, electrical, structural and design components of ride construction.
