Born in Genoa in 1974, I have always had a passion for prestigious real estate. After earning my accounting diploma, I started working almost by chance at the real estate agency owned by a school friend's father. A few years later, I bought out the company shares and poured all my energy into creating a brokerage firm specializing in luxury properties in the Genoese market. In 2003, I founded a real estate company with the goal of purchasing and transforming historic villas in the eastern part of Genoa and along the Riviera, dividing them into apartments for resale—a business that has brought me great satisfaction.

In September 2008, following the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy, interest in real estate saw a dramatic decline; the office phones stopped ringing. This was a sign that the world was changing, and globalization was beginning to rewrite the rules of the game, even in a niche market like mine. This led me to rethink my business model. I traveled to London and New York to see how my competitors were operating, and I realized: "I need to open up new markets, I need to internationalize and leverage the beauty of the region where I operate." In 2012, Landcoproperty was born, a company that, thanks to its partnership with Ar92 srl, promotes Ligurian properties to the international market, with offices in Santa Margherita Ligure and Camogli.
2018 marked a major step forward for our companies. Through our affiliation with Savills—a London-based, publicly traded company with 700 offices worldwide and 33,000 employees—we began a collaboration that would help our businesses grow toward a global market and help our region gain recognition and compete on the world stage.

I am and will always be grateful to Confindustria and the Young Entrepreneurs Movement. Thanks to this experience, I have grown both professionally and personally. I have engaged with young people who, like me, are building businesses—people who face different challenges but all share a strong sense of belonging to our country, with the goal of creating wealth and helping to make Italy an incredible place.

My national experience opened my eyes and convinced me that the art of complaining goes beyond the borders of my region and extends across our entire nation. There is no point in wasting time complaining; our country needs people with the desire to get involved, with a clear focus on advancing the common public good, not just personal private interests.
