We are a team of seven people and a network of professionals, coordinated by journalists Elena Casadoro Kopp and Francesca Fungher. What sets us apart is our deep and constantly updated knowledge of both the world of art and culture and the trends in sector-specific communication. We are familiar with the unique characteristics of the Venetian area, where we are based: in Campo Santo Stefano, in the heart of Venice.
