AI Consulting · Cortona, Tuscany

I run multiple brands from Cortona and use AI as my core operational infrastructure. I help American-connected businesses here — and the brands that send guests to them — do the same: transparently, strategically, and without the hype.

WHY

I built a life in Tuscany from nothing — no local network, no capital, just showing up in a country that wasn’t mine. Today I run five businesses under my name, and every one of them is built on the same idea: give people something real, unpolished, exactly as it is — for people who are looking for the real thing.

What I’m building won’t carry my name forever. It’s meant to be a system that keeps running even when I’m not the one running it, and a method I can hand to someone else. That’s part of why I teach and reinvest what I’ve learned — for people whose income shouldn’t depend on their own physical presence, and for people standing where I once stood: starting from zero, in a foreign country, without connections.

Philosophy

AI is not a feature. It’s not a trend. It’s infrastructure. I use it every day to run real businesses in a real place — and I do it openly, because transparency is the only competitive advantage that can’t be copied.

Services

Is your business invisible to AI? Most companies never show up when someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini a question in their category — and never find out why. Pricing is quoted personally, based on scope — start with the free check below, no obligation.

Free AI Visibility Snapshot

A quick, no-cost look at whether AI assistants recommend you — or your competitors — when your future guests or customers ask.

What you get:

  • 3–5 real questions an American customer would actually ask
  • Whether you show up, and who’s winning the answer instead
  • The exact question set, so you can check it yourself

Google Business Profile Optimization

Most local businesses leave their Google Business Profile half-finished. I fix it properly, end to end.

What I promise:

  • A complete, correctly categorized, fully optimized profile
  • A measurable result, not a checklist — that’s the deliverable, not “optimization” as an activity
  • Get in touch for scope and pricing

AI Visibility Audit

A full, multi-engine audit — not estimates, real evidence.

What you get:

  • Real screenshots across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity — logged out, no bias
  • Where you appear, where you don’t, and exactly what to fix
  • Specific, actionable recommendations — no fluff, no slide deck

Ongoing AI Consulting

For businesses ready to keep moving after the audit.

What you get:

  • Monthly AI visibility monitoring, re-checked against real engines
  • Ongoing implementation, not just reporting
  • Direct access — you reach me, not a support queue

Ventures

Who this is for

This is for

  • Founders and owners with real responsibility
  • Decision-makers controlling budget and direction
  • Businesses already generating revenue
  • People who value clarity, leverage, and decisive action

This is not for

  • “I just need a website” requests
  • Early-stage or no-revenue projects
  • DIY builders or tool shoppers
  • Anyone seeking motivation, validation, or education

If you recognize yourself on both sides, this is probably not the right time.
