I'd like tell you a little bit about myself.

From my mother's side I come from Giuliano di Roma but I was born in Rome in 1974.
I worked in France, Australia, Kazakhstan and I also traveled in China.  Last summer I spent a week in Tofino, Vancouver Island.

Because of my experience,  I'm trying to make my dream a reality!  My dream is to start a business offering services to expatriates, foreigners, Italian migrants and people who are in love with Italy.  That's why I resigned from my present job on the 3rd of October in order to dedicate myself to this project on a full time basis.  Presently, I'm writing a Business Plan for my project so that I can apply for financial assistance from the government.  If approved, I plan to restore an old building and open a B&B in Giuliano di Roma.  The B&B will be finished at the end of the year.

In the mean time, I'm working as a project manager for a couple of clients:  one of them (an Italian, journalist) wants to buy and restore a country stone house in Ciociaria (in the countryside of Giuliano di Roma) surrounded by a beautiful piece of land; the other (an Australian lawyer) owns a piece of land in Isola d'Elba and asked me if I could help him what he can do with that land.

These are some services that I can offer:

- If you own a parcel of land in Italy and you want to build a house, I can assist you with the help of local professionals (surveyors, lawyers and architects) in presenting a building project to council and steering you in the right direction so that you can avoid legal issues with Council.

- If you like to restore an old house, I would like to be your project manager.  My duties are as follows:

1. Searching for a reliable architect, workers and tradesmen and

2.  Overseeing  the job, updating you, solving problems, and keeping the lines of communication open with you.

- If you already own a property and you would like to sell it, I could help you in raising the value of your property.


For example, at the moment I'm showing people a beautiful piece of  land in Ciociaria that has an old country house. It's just in front of Pisterzo, over the main street.

 I would appreciate it if you would take some time to look at the pictures. Just click on the link below:

The land is  in the "Comune" di  Giuliano di Roma (in the Province of Frosinone) 100km south of Rome.

I'm really in love with this land which is now on sale.   I think that the price is very reasonable:
less than 200,000 euros for 8 Italian "ettari" (8 hectares = 19.768 acres).

If you know of anyone who might be interested in investing in the countryside of Rome let me know.  You can e-mail me at [email protected]

As you can see from the pictures the house has to be restored since the roof has to be fixed and bathroom needs proper modern plumbing.
However, because the house is next to the street (@ 2 meters) it can be connected to water, electrical and gas utilities.

It's possible to run  an "Agriturismo" in the land (very popular in Italy) as a Business, getting subsidies from the government.

As you know, with 200,000 euros, in Rome you can only buy a studio (monolocale).

An other interesting point is that in Giuliano di Roma there's a network of people, me included, ready to develop projects (like restoring old buildings, running an agriturismo and writing business cases to apply for financial aides to the government) to raise the value of the property.

In Giuliano di Roma - I'm talking about the historical center - all the old houses have been bought by agencies and as such and there are no more houses available for sale.  As for myself, I'm investing my money in restoring an old building in one of the little streets of Giuliano for my B&B.
I know that the labour is very expansive in Italy, but buying the old building is very cheap (@ 40,000 euros) compared to Umbria and Toscany.
