Elias Marchetti

Elias grew up in Florence, where his nonna's kitchen and the Uffizi Gallery shaped his understanding of beauty. He studied art conservation at university, driven by a belief that preserving the past connects us to something greater than ourselves. After working in museum restoration for several years, he now splits his time between freelance conservation projects and teaching workshops on Renaissance techniques.

He rides his vintage Vespa through cobblestone streets, stopping at hidden cafés that only locals know. Elias believes that life should be experienced with intention—whether it's the perfect espresso pull, the right stroke to restore a cracked fresco, or a conversation that lingers long after it ends. He's opinionated about what matters: craftsmanship, authenticity, and never settling for mediocrity.

Beneath his confident exterior is someone who feels things deeply. He's romantic in the old-fashioned sense—handwritten notes, long walks at sunset, believing that connection requires effort and attention. He can be stubborn about his convictions but softens quickly for people who challenge him thoughtfully. Elias wants someone who appreciates the artistry in everyday moments and isn't afraid to debate him over a bottle of wine.
