Your representative in Venice.
For companies, institutions and owners abroad who need a trusted presence in Venice and across Italy: represented at meetings, work overseen on the ground, the right people at the table. Discreet by default, in English, Italian and Portuguese.
Discreet, personal, present.
What every client can expect, whatever the size of the mandate.
Discreet
Client matters stay confidential by default. Gibson does not publish client names, and a confidentiality agreement can be signed before anything is shared.
Personal
Every mandate is led by Mateus Gibson himself, from the first conversation to the last report. No account managers, no chain of intermediaries.
Present
On the ground in Venice and the Veneto, across Italy when needed, and in Portuguese with Brazil. Seeing things in person, then saying plainly what was seen.
Defined mandates, agreed in advance.
Each one has a clear scope and fee before it begins. They can be combined, or held over months.
Site visit and report
A visit to a property, a site or a supplier, followed by a clear report with photographs and the decisions that need your attention.
Representation at meetings
Gibson attends on your behalf, prepared with your brief, and reports what was said, what was agreed and what comes next.
Oversight of a project
A renovation, a fit-out, an event or a supplier order followed from start to finish: schedules, quality and the people involved, kept in step.
Introductions
Architects, contractors, notaries, lawyers, accountants and suppliers found and checked before you meet them. Licensed work stays with licensed professionals.
Companies, institutions and owners.
Wherever you are coming from, one counterpart on the ground.
Projects in Venice
For companies, institutions, organisers and owners abroad with something under way in Venice and the Veneto: an exhibition, an event, an order from a maker, an opening or a home. One person on the ground who works only for you.
Companies working in Italy
For companies and organisations from abroad with suppliers, partners, projects or events in Italy: one person on the ground who prepares, attends, checks and reports back.
Working with Brazil
For Italian and European companies with partners, suppliers, teams or projects in Brazil: someone who speaks Portuguese, knows both business cultures and keeps the work moving.
Mateus Gibson
Mateus Gibson leads every mandate himself. Settled in Venice and trained in architecture and project management, he works in English, Italian and Portuguese.
He founded Gibson for people who need someone they can rely on in Italy: someone who turns up, understands what is at stake, and keeps things moving until they are done.

Renovating in Venice from abroad: who does what
Owners, architects, contractors and the authorities: who is responsible for what in a Venetian renovation, and where an owner abroad most often loses time.
Every mandate starts with a private conversation. A few lines are enough.
