Over the course of his career, he has successfully acquired, managed, and divested numerous real estate assets across multifamily, commercial, and residential sectors.

Owning and actively managing property in Italy, Brazil, and the US, while residing in part-time in Italy and part-time in the US, Stefano is the company’s natural interface with foreign investors.

Although he has been involved in RE investments for all his life for family reasons, he is trained and has worked in the hard sciences, having started with a bachelor and Master’s Degree in Chemistry at the University of Rome, and then with a Ph.D. from Brandeis University, Waltham, MA.  His scientific background and mindset helps him to crunch the numbers that secure Brick One’s financial success.

Thanks to his personal experience as a foreign investor in real estate in the US, he bridges the gap towards the US for non-American investors, providing a streamlined process in all the “non-US” aspects of the investment for foreigners, including optimizing currency exchange, taxation abroad, estate issues etc.

Having lived and worked both in Italy and in the US, is a key factor in his role in Brick One, where often the different needs of investors living and working abroad need to be taken in consideration and related to doing business in the US, with a different culture, language, context, legal and taxation system.
