My story
Learning on site, one decision at a time.
Not a CV. A few honest notes on how I came to think the way I do.
I'm Enrico. For about two decades I have worked in residential development: projects, building sites, people and difficult decisions. It is the work I know best, and the one that taught me the most.
What keeps me curious is not the building itself, but what surrounds it — the coastline, the light, the way a town grows around its streets, the habits of the people who live there. I am fascinated by coastlines and by the cultures that grew up facing the sea.
This is my personal space: where I write about the places that shaped me, the ideas I keep returning to, and what I'm still learning.
01
Growing up on the job
I grew up professionally between projects, building sites, people and difficult decisions. Over the years I learned that developing property means, first of all, interpreting a territory and imagining how people will live in it.
02
What the sites teach you
A building site is an honest place. Plans meet weather, budgets meet reality, and every shortcut shows up eventually. It taught me patience, and a deep respect for the people who actually build.
03
Resilience
Not every project goes the way you imagined. The hard moments taught me more than the easy ones: to stay calm, to keep my word, and to start again with a clearer head.
04
Between two shores
Spending time between Sardinia and Miami changed how I see both. Distance makes you notice what you took for granted at home — and what home could become.
05
Ambition
My ambition is simple to say and hard to do: to leave places better than I found them, and to help the Mediterranean be seen for what it truly is.
