Founded in 2001, Ventura Verde, Inc. is a U.S.-Italian real estate investment, development and consulting firm focused on the Italian tourism industry. Ventura Verde is headquartered in San Francisco, California, and maintains a regional headquarters in Vitorchiano, Italy. For more than 20 years, Ventura Verde has assisted foreign buyers, primarily Americans, find, purchase and, if necessary, restore Italian vacation homes in Umbria and Lazio, two of Italy’s most beautiful, historic and culturally-significant regions.

In 2015, Ventura Verde's founders, who have had decades of experience in both real estate development and Silicon Valley technology, recognized that co-ownership offered foreigner buyers a new, more cost-effective way to own a vacation home in Italy and that the global reach of the internet, powered by 21^st century technologies, provided the opportunity to make Italian vacation home co-ownership available to a vast international market.

After two years of planning and development, Ventura Verde launched its groundbreaking, 1^st generation Italian vacation home co-ownership website in 2017. It was one of the world's first proptech ventures dedicated exclusively to the buying and selling of co-ownership interests in vacation homes. Today, Ventura Verde is Italy's expert in vacation home co-ownership.                       

Unfortunately, the sudden arrival of COVID-19 in early 2020, which caused nations around the world to severely restrict international travel, temporarily shut down Ventura Verde's promising vacation home co-ownership venture before it could get traction.

Ironically, however, the pandemic proved advantageous for Ventura Verde. During the two-year travel hiatus, Ventura Verde's team completely reimagined the experience of buying, selling, and owning a vacation home in a foreign country. This revolutionary new 2^nd generation vacation home co-ownership business model held so much promise that Ventura Verde decided to create an entirely new and independent entrepreneurial venture:

The core of Divviso's unique co-ownership strategy is an international joint venture partnership of major firms with significant experience and success in providing the management and marketing expertise required to deliver professional vacation home co-ownership services to buyers, sellers, and co-owners.

The Divviso joint venture partnership consists of: 1) top-tier real estate agents in Italy and around the world; 2) professional property management companies; 3) specialty financial and legal services firms; 4) real estate investment funds, and 5) affiliated organizations, associations, government agencies, and businesses focused on promoting Italy and Italian tourism.

As an independent corporation, Divviso is the unifying brand name and public face of the joint venture partnership. Divviso itself has developed and will continue to maintain the technologically-advanced vacation home co-ownership online marketplace (website) connecting Divviso's buyers, sellers, and co-owners of Italian vacation home co-ownership properties with each other and with Divviso's joint venture partners. Divviso is also responsible for the acquisition of co-ownership vacation home properties, for the creation and management of the joint venture's global sales and marketing programs (including customer support) and, ultimately, for the management of the entire international business.
