Mateus Gibson
Founder

One person you can rely on, in English, Italian and Portuguese.

Work at a distance rarely fails for lack of talent or money. It fails in the space between: briefs that lose meaning in translation, decisions that wait for someone to be on site, and no one holding the whole picture.

Most of that space is about people: knowing whom to call, how a counterpart reads a request, when a yes really means yes. Mateus Gibson is settled in Venice and works in English, Italian and Portuguese, at ease with American, Italian and Brazilian ways of doing business.

For a client abroad, that means a person on the ground: visiting a property or a supplier, sitting in on a meeting, checking work before it moves forward, and bringing in the right specialist when a question goes beyond his own.

His training is in architecture and project management, and it shows in how he works: a clear question at the start, the right people around the table, and follow-through until the job is done.

Every mandate is led personally by Mateus, from the first conversation to the last report.

Why Venice

A strategic base, not only a beautiful one.

Venice puts Gibson inside the EU, in one of Italy’s main economic regions, and within easy reach of the rest of the country.

Inside the EU

Based in Italy, in the single market and the euro area: someone on the ground for international clients, and close at hand for European ones.

Northeast Italy

The Veneto is one of Italy’s leading regions for manufacturing and design, close to Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna and Friuli. Many makers and suppliers are a short trip away.

Connected

North Adriatic ports, high-speed rail to Milan, Florence and Rome, and an international airport: visits, meetings and trade fairs within easy reach.

A city people come to

Owners, collectors, institutions and companies from all over the world invest and work in Venice. Much of what they need here is someone local they can trust.
