Hi, I'm Francesco and I've been working in the real estate sector for about 15 years. In recent years, I've started a company that manages properties, Ruggiero Properties. I find it to be a dynamic and fun activity that gives me the opportunity to connect with people from all over the world, which is very motivating.
