Support in the acquisition of luxury residential homes (Milan, Lake Como, Tuscany, Costa Smeralda) and in the management of art collections and collectibles. Selection of tax-efficient holding structures and coordination with specialist advisors — real estate agents, galleries, art experts, appraisers, fiduciaries — for integrated oversight of real assets.
Who it's for
UHNWI relocating to Italy seeking a primary luxury residence (Milan, Lake Como, Tuscany, central Rome, Costa Smeralda) and wishing to integrate art collections transferred or built in Italy into the wealth design.
Resident families with a portfolio of luxury real estate and significant art collections looking to optimize the holding structure, set asset allocation principles, and design the generational transition of real assets.
Art collectors, founders of private foundations, and patrons seeking advisory on acquisition, management, enhancement, and tax protection of artworks, manuscripts, collectibles, and archives.
What we do
The method
Definition of scope: target locations and property types, collecting segments of interest (period, area, authors), available budget, and time horizon. Mapping of boutique agencies, galleries, and relevant auction houses.
For real estate: title, urban planning, compliance, building systems, value-enhancement potential, coordination with architect, structural engineer, appraiser. For artworks: provenance, authentication, condition report, museum constraints, independent appraisals.
Selection of the most efficient holding vehicle — direct purchase, real estate holding, trust, private foundation, museum loan. For real estate: IMU, IRPEF, transfer taxes. For art: VAT regime, museum exemptions, export constraints, and cultural-interest declarations.
For real estate: deed of sale, international payments, utility activation, property manager selection. For art: specialist transport, all-risk insurance, museum storage or vault, conservation, and active catalog management.
Output
Every mandate concludes with concrete, formal, and archivable deliverables.
