Gabetti Group has been in the real estate sector for over 75 years.
Established in 1950 by Giovanni Gabetti – considered by many as a pioneer of real estate brokerage – the Group progressively expanded its scope of activity. Between the 1950s and 1980s, it diversified its business, evolving into a large Group listed on the stock exchange, with a distinctive model compared to its competitors: a single integrated platform covering all asset classes throughout Italy.
