Our story

Seven years, two cities, one lake

We met on a rainy Tuesday in Milan, arguing over the last copy of a book neither of us finished. Seven years and one long-distance chapter later, we’re bringing everyone we love to the lake where Tommaso asked the question.

This page has everything you need for the weekend. If something is missing, write to us. We’ll answer, probably together.
