Simone Torresi is a man who embodies the charm and strength of his land. Born in a farmhouse in Impruneta, the beating heart of Chianti, he has breathed in the scents of the hills, vineyards, and ancient stones since childhood. He watched the tireless work of the calloused hands of farmers and, through them, learned that every corner of this territory has a soul and every house a history that deserves to be respected and enhanced. From these deep roots came his vision: a relentless pursuit of beauty that honors the past while embracing the future.
Simone is not just a successful entrepreneur but a man whose sensitivity and respect for the landscape define him. While at first glance his imposing frame and firm demeanor might suggest a rigid character, his work reveals a rare blend of strength and gentleness. His vision harmonizes the solidity of architecture with the grace of a landscape that needs to be cherished, not dominated.
After years of dedication and passion, Simone recently inaugurated a new headquarters, a space designed to welcome clients with the same care he puts into turning houses into works of art. This new opening is not only a symbol of professional growth but a concrete response to the evolving needs of his clientele. From farmhouses to villas and luxury residences, Simone Torresi aims to offer his clients an environment that reflects the quality of his work and his vision, catering to both national and international audiences. His clients don’t just seek a construction entrepreneur but an interpreter of luxury and beauty—someone who can shape their dreams while respecting the unique identity of each project.
Over the years, Torresi has refined his skills, specializing in the restoration of prestigious properties, focusing on “turnkey” projects. His approach goes beyond design: Simone oversees every phase of the process, from obtaining permits to executing the work and delivering the final product. Every detail is meticulously curated, every choice carefully calibrated to achieve a result that merges elegance, functionality, and harmony with the surrounding landscape. For him, respecting the environment is not just a value but a necessity, which is why his projects incorporate local materials and promote a landscape coherence that blends the old with the new seamlessly.
Chianti is a land that exudes beauty from every corner, and Simone has taken it upon himself to bring out the best in every structure, telling stories through bricks and stones that speak of both tradition and the future. His style is true to the essence of Made in Italy, a philosophy that permeates every stylistic choice, from the details of renovations to the creation of unique pools—dubbed “signature pools” for their extraordinary ability to blend into the landscape as if born alongside the surrounding hills.
But behind every great success lies a deep motivation, and for Simone, that motivation has a name: Lorenzo, his son. At twenty-two, Lorenzo has become a fundamental presence in his father’s work, bringing new energy and drive. Thanks to him, Simone has found renewed momentum, a desire to grow and improve that has made these last years the most exciting of his career. The relationship between father and son is not just an emotional bond but a professional collaboration that grows richer day by day, where experience merges with enthusiasm, creating a perfect balance. Simone, who once feared that his craft might end with him, now looks to the future with optimism, knowing that his work has found continuity and new vitality.
Beside him on this journey has always been his wife, Federica—a pillar of support and complicity. It is with his family’s support that Simone has been able to face even the toughest challenges, the kind that every entrepreneur, no matter how brilliant, inevitably encounters. Every obstacle overcome has strengthened his determination to leave an unmistakable mark on the Tuscan landscape.
Simone Torresi is not just a successful entrepreneur; he is a man who has turned his passion for his work into an art form. Every project bears his signature—that of someone who knows that true luxury lies not only in the beauty of things but in the heart that goes into creating them.
