To me, entrepreneurship means building something that creates lasting value and leaves a positive impact on the environment and the community around it. It’s about putting people at the center, helping them grow, and creating a space where creativity and innovation can develop naturally, always with a long-term vision.

If I had to pick one lesson, it would be never taking anything for granted and always thinking of the company as something that needs to keep evolving. Along the way, I’ve realized how important it is to build a team with diverse but complementary skills, where people can interpret the market from different angles and react with flexibility. Bringing together the right group is not easy, it’s actually one of the hardest challenges, but it’s also what brings the greatest satisfaction.

Italian Travel Group is a family-owned company with over 100 years of experience in tourism, operating both in transportation and tour operating. This dual focus has allowed us to grow in a solid yet flexible way, but what truly sets us apart is our focus on people, who remain our most valuable asset. For four generations, we have evolved alongside industry changes and technological progress, while always keeping the human element at the core of what we do.

If I had to sum it up, I’d say it’s important not to take yourself too seriously, while taking your work very seriously. It means always aiming for results, while understanding that success doesn’t happen overnight but is built through continuous improvement, along a path made of both easier and more challenging moments, all to be faced with the same positive and constructive mindset.

Because engaging with new opportunities and high-level professionals should be a constant for any company aiming to grow. ELITE provides a truly unique network, offering access to expertise, tools, and connections that can concretely support and accelerate the growth of an SME.
