Business structuring, feasibility analysis and decision support for international clients. 

Market Entry & Business Structuring

• Entry strategy for the Italian market

• Legal–fiscal framework analysis

• Corporate and asset structuring

• Risk assessment and scenario planning 

We don’t just present homes. We hunt for legacies.

The most extraordinary properties in Italy never reach the open market. They pass through generations, remain unadvertised, or sit behind centuries-old stone walls in villages unseen by tourists.

Unlike traditional agencies working for the seller, The Italian Secret represents you, the buyer.
We act as your strategist, your eyes, your cultural interpreter, and your boots on Italian soil.

Our Property Finder Service Includes:

• Bespoke Sourcing: Tailored scouting aligned with your investment goals or lifestyle vision.
• Preliminary Vetting: Location intelligence, structural considerations, rental yield or appreciation potential.
• Negotiation & Advocacy: We navigate the linguistic and cultural nuances so you avoid inflated “tourist pricing.”
• Private Visits: Curated itineraries with discreet access to properties rarely shown to non-locals.

From rustic farmhouses in Friuli to historic Venetian palazzos, we uncover the stone. You create the legacy.

For international buyers, this world often feels impenetrable: bureaucracy, language barriers, and cultural nuance can make even the simplest step feel impossible.

My role is to provide the key.

HOW THE ITALIAN SECRET OPERATES

The Italian Secret is not a traditional real estate agency.

Instead, we work as:

• Property Sourcers

• Opportunity Brokers 

• Private Client Advisors

We belong to the discreet ecosystem where real opportunities circulate:
aristocratic families, owners of historical estates, private sellers, and off-market networks built on trust, time and reputation.

Within this environment, we:

• identify opportunities,

• curate and filter them,

• connect the parties involved,

• and support the client through the evaluation and acquisition journey.

This model allows us to operate legally as a business introducer (Procacciatore d’Affari), enabling us to be compensated by the buyer or the seller, depending on the agreements in place exactly as provided for by the regulations dalla normativa italiana.

My practice operates within Italy’s discreet private network: aristocratic families, custodians of historic estates, and long-standing property owners who do not entrust their villas to traditional real estate agencies but rely instead on circles of confidence and personal introductions.

These are environments where transactions occur quietly, through trust and reputation, not through public listings.

It is within this ecosystem that I search, evaluate, negotiate, and guide you with precision, efficiency, and absolute confidentiality.

Unlike traditional real estate channels, where the buyer often incurs:

• 3%–5% in agency commissions,
• inflated “administrative” fees,
• redundant intermediaries,
• costly evaluations,

our service eliminates these burdens.

You do not pay real estate commissions.
You avoid unnecessary intermediaries.
You save time, money, and frustration.

You receive a service tailored to your interests alone,
curated, transparent, and strategically focused.

Thanks to my established social capital and the trust cultivated over years within private Italian circles, I can identify opportunities that align with your budget, lifestyle, and long-term vision, often before they reach any form of public visibility.

OUR PROPERTY SERVICES

• Bespoke Sourcing

We scout properties that match your investment ambitions or lifestyle vision.
Many options are presented before they reach public visibility, because most never do.

• Preliminary Vetting

A clear, unembellished picture:
• structural considerations
• location intelligence
• potential appreciation
• suitability based on your goals

• Tailored Search for Villas & Rustic Estates

Properties chosen with curatorial precision, not volume.

• Video Visits & Honest Reports

A truthful representation, never embellished, never filtered.

• Strategic Price Negotiation

Negotiation conducted with discretion, cultural intelligence, and accuracy.

• Full Bureaucratic Guidance

From preliminary checks to notarial coordination, every step translated into clarity.

This is not an agency.
It is a private acquisition consultancy designed for those who value discretion, heritage, and an uncompromising standard of service.

Why Clients Choose This Service

Italy has two markets:

What locals pay, and what foreigners are asked to pay.
We bridge that cultural and linguistic gap, ensuring the communication and the terms remain transparent for all involved.

Because Italy is enchanting, but buying property here demands someone who understands its unwritten rules.

Because they want certainty in a country they love but do not fully understand.

Because they need a representative on the ground, one who speaks the language, knows the culture, moves within the right circles,
and acts exclusively in their favor.

Because they seek exclusivity, confidence,
and access to places that do not open their doors to everyone.
