We are an independent family office providing strategic advisory on financial, real estate and industrial assets. We are a team of professionals with diverse expertise, equipped to competently address the needs of our clients in an increasingly complex market that looks to generational transition as a primary resource.
We approach you with respect for your person, your history and your wealth, and we provide planning, asset management and investment services, acting with common sense and guided by intuition and determination — because above all, we are human beings, and in them we believe.
What sets us apart is our ability to give continuity to the past and hand it on to the future with even stronger roots — through what matters most to us: transparency, trust and the empowerment of human relationships, through sustainable finance projects aimed at creating value over the medium to long term.
Our name suggests the image of a U-turn and gives the idea of a Family Office that is profoundly different and against the trend: by stopping and going back to the past, we are committed to bringing it back in a new way into the present and keep its values intact.
Our name is united with the concept of sustainable finance, careful to create value over the long term with investments that are useful to society. This is the direction we want to pursue with you to be proud of what we will leave behind us.
Our personalised approach is strongly entrepreneurial in nature — it allows us to focus on investment returns while remaining firmly rooted in the values of listening, trust and transparency. This balance gives us, and gives you, the right direction: the one our pay-off points to — human, cultural, innovative.
Looking to the future and building it with skilled hands and enlightened minds. We are open to others and open to the world. Our mindset leads us to approach every project and every challenge — especially new ones — with curiosity, an entrepreneurial spirit and proactivity.
This way of living teaches us to have no limits, or better, to overcome them when they arise. Through ingenuity and lateral thinking that truly reflects our values.
Transparency and sincerity
We believe that transparency between people accelerates virtuous projects. For this reason, every strategic action we take — especially when there are points to discuss — is visible to all, real, shared and clear. Transparency means freedom of thought, richness of ideas, openness to others and a reduction in costs and time.
Results-oriented mindset
We take on a carefully selected number of projects: we do this to always maintain focus on objectives, but also to be as objective and concrete as possible. Our professionalism is reflected here too.
Respect for tradition
We are grateful for the tradition that has allowed us to grow and innovate — it is through tradition that we ground our services and philosophy. In this way we are guided towards a sustainable finance that believes in healthy growth and a generational transition that is mindful of both the future and the past.
We believe that facts and experience speak louder than anything else. It is experience that led Gianpiero, Luca and Alberto to found a family office that approaches the market in a new and responsible way, with its defining characteristic being the creation of Club Deals managed directly and focused on small and medium-sized enterprises. All three of us have always been driven by healthy ambition, high aspirations and a broad network of trust.
