I’m Mariano, a 20-year-old with solid experience in the food and tourism industries. From a young age, I grew up immersed in the world of hospitality thanks to my family, who passed down a valuable legacy tied to this industry. I’ve had the opportunity to work at various resorts in Puglia, where I honed my skills and developed a deep passion for this work. Currently, I am an economics student and speak Italian, English, Spanish, and French fluently. These languages allow me to communicate effectively with an international clientele, further enriching my professional experience. In addition to my work in the tourism sector, I am a great lover of literature and philosophy. This passion inspired me to create a bookstore and wine bar within my property, with a particular nod to the Latin concept of “otium,” from which the name of our property, OTIVM, derives. This space is designed to offer guests a relaxing environment where they can enjoy a good book accompanied by a glass of wine. My goal is to offer a unique and unforgettable experience
