History

According to the Cinémas Guzzo history page, Mr. Angelo Guzzo arrived in Quebec in 1967 from Italy and is described as one of the pioneers of independent multiplex cinemas in Canada. The page states that for many years he fought so that independent cinema owners would have the right to first-run films, and that through this he opened the way for several of them. It describes Cinémas Guzzo as first and foremost a story of passion and family, with father and son working as a team. Mr. Angelo Guzzo is president of the company and, since 1990, his son Vincenzo has been executive vice-president. In 1974, Mr. Angelo Guzzo became owner of the Capri cinema on rue Hochelaga in Montreal, renamed it Le Paradis and completely renovated it; further renovations in 1976 allowed the founder to be the first independent owner to open a three-screen cinema in Montreal.
