About Simone: He is an entrepreneur involved in several businesses. He spends his time between his native Florence, Italy and his adoptive Berkeley, with occasional stints in China. The businesses that make Simone proud have one common thread – beauty:More information about each of these businesses will be coming soon.

Florentia: THE ART OF BEAUTY

Simone leads a small team of friends as private guides to the city of Florence and its surroundings. Florentia is the oldest walking tour company in Florence, Italy and our small group of seven guides has led families and solo travelers, adventurers and celebrities, heads of state and hopeless romantics throughout the city’s nooks and crannies for almost 2000 years. Actually, make that twenty.

Ferrania: FILM IS ALIVE

Simone is part of a group of film-lovers that fosters the use of analog film for professional and amateur photographers and film-makers. For this purpose, they purchased the historic factory of Ferrania in Italy, once the third largest factory in the world to produce film (after Kodak in America and Fuji in Japan).

OCEAN VIEW DESIGNS: THE BEAUTY OF YOUR HOME

Finally, Simone is part of a VERY local design/build group that specializes in home remodels that are smart, affordable and above all, very beautiful. To bring your home to its full potential.
