  • Description

    Hello, we are Irene and Mauro and we're from Italy.
    Met in India, met coincidentally again while walking in Milan and eventually married in Las Vegas, we are the classic example for which opposites attract:

    -Irene: graduated in Design, among Madrid, Lisbon, Rome and Milan. My passion for Spain led me to choose Barcelona for my first job in art gallery.

    -Mauro: graduated in plants' protection and production, despite the grass allergy :). After the academic career, I've been volunteering in UK (WWOOF) in some organic farm. After this, I decided to come back to Italy and I started to working in CRO's involved in research in the agricultural sector.

    we moved to milan together to lead a regular life between the office, theater nights and weekend trips. Now we are ready to change course.

    After an impeccable academic and professional career, and after 3 years of working for one of the most important architectural magazines in Italy and the world, we decided to put myself on the line once again :) After 3 years in Milan,
    we want to try new jobs, new activities, immerse myself in new cultures, speak new languages, and surprise myself every day.

    Despite being born in what is considered one the most beautiful country in the world (and with the best food, of course), we've always had a big curiosity to the world!

  • More details about your skills

    We are a couple with university backgrounds and very different work experiences. Irene studied design and art and worked as a product manager for a digital magazine on architecture and design. Mauro, after studying agriculture, worked as a researcher for two different companies, following some experimental projects.

    Irene worked as a babysitter for a long time during her studies, and Mauro worked as a waiter.

    Irene is very good at all things digital, social media and marketing plans, website management and creative projects. Mauro can take care of all the plants.
    What we have in common are strong organizational skills, honorary degrees in organizing low-cost trips and jam-packed work schedules :)
