Forbes Global Properties, an international network of invitation-only real estate brokerages, announced the addition of Rivolta International Realty as its exclusive member for Rome and the entire Lazio region.
Building on the heritage and market expertise of Gruppo Rivolta, an independent real estate firm founded in 1956, Rivolta International Realty brings more than seven decades of experience, deep local knowledge and a proven, dedicated approach to representing Rome and the Lazio region’s most exceptional properties.
For generations, Rivolta has cultivated longstanding relationships with private clients, institutions and international partners, establishing a reputation built on market authority, discretion and an intimate understanding of Rome and its surrounding territories. Today, Rivolta International Realty combines this heritage with a contemporary international outlook, advising discerning buyers and sellers across Rome and throughout the entire Lazio region, with a particular focus on the city’s and region’s most prestigious residential properties.
The Italian prime property market shows sustained year-over-year growth, with buyers and investors particularly drawn to Rome’s history, art and architecture, as well as the naturally limited availability of truly distinctive properties. Demand has been particularly strong for restored historic residences, penthouses with terraces and urban villas, with buyers from the United States and Northern Europe joined by increasing interest from the Middle East and Asia.
Rivolta International Realty is uniquely positioned to serve owners of these highly sought-after properties and buyers seeking exclusive opportunities, drawing on more than 70 years of respected experience, multigenerational relationships grounded in trust and deep roots in Rome and its surrounding territories. With offices in some of the city’s most prestigious areas, the firm brings extensive knowledge of the Roman market and provides expert guidance throughout the transaction process, including strategic valuation, compliance assessment, market positioning and negotiation management. Rivolta International Realty’s strong database of prospective buyers and investors in Rome and across Italy, developed over decades of successful activity, will be complemented by the international pool of prospective buyers and investors available through Forbes Global Properties.
“It is a privilege to welcome Rivolta International Realty to Forbes Global Properties as the exclusive member for Rome and the entire Lazio region,” said Michael Jalbert, CEO of Forbes Global Properties. “Rome is home to an extraordinary collection of celebrated properties, and Rivolta’s seven decades of local market knowledge, respected expertise and time-honored client relationships will be a tremendous benefit to our members and global audience of affluent buyers.”
“The opportunity Rome has today is to transform growing international interest into investments capable of generating value for the city. The challenge is not only attracting capital, but turning it into heritage restoration, employment and development for the territory. With Rivolta International Realty and our entry into the Forbes Global Properties network, we want to put our knowledge of Rome at the service of this vision, opening it to a global audience of qualified investors,” said Sergio Rivolta Lippo, president of Gruppo Rivolta.
The announcement was made at the Foreign Press Room in Palazzo Grazioli, Rome, and featured remarks from Sergio Rivolta Lippo, president of Gruppo Rivolta; Michael Jalbert, CEO of Forbes Global Properties; Marcus Benussi, managing director of Forbes Global Properties; Luca Rivolta Lippo and Marco Rivolta Lippo, respectively, vice president and general manager of Gruppo Rivolta; and moderator Gianni Todini, editor-in-chief of Askanews.
