CURRENT PROJECTS IN ITALY

Ashley and Leah, childhood best friends, reunited in an exciting venture. After Leah's return to Italy from Dubai, she recognized the need for her best friend's expertise to scale the business. In 2022, Ashley made the bold move from New York City to join Leah in the adventure of town renovation, igniting a dynamic partnership fueled by friendship and shared ambition. Despite not being natives, they were captivated by the village's timeless beauty and embarked on a journey to restore its fading splendor.

Driven by a deep appreciation for history and culture, Ashley and Leah saw the village as more than just a collection of old buildings; it was a living testament to Italy's rich heritage. They devoted themselves to breathing new life into its historic structures, recognizing the importance of preserving its unique charm for future generations.

Their restoration efforts didn't stop at mere renovation; they’re seeking to create a sustainable future for the village and its inhabitants. By hiring local artisans and supporting community initiatives, they infused the area with newfound energy while honoring its cultural roots.
