The disco was built in 1971 on reclaimed rice-paddy land at the wish of its two partners and owners Elio Diani and Giordano Rossato. Originally christened Barbarella, inspired by the film of the same name by Roger Vadim, it changed its name shortly afterwards to Jambo. It was one of the best-known and most frequented discos in northern Italy. In its 37 years of activity, countless famous people performed at the Jambo, including Massimo Ranieri, Mia Martini, Loredana Bertè, Linus, Albertino, Amadeus.
The disco closed for good in 2008.
