CLIZIA
Hospitality Manager, Executive PA, Logistic, Communication & Administration services
Greek mythology tells the story of a nymph called Clizia that felt in love with Apollo, the god of the sun, that transformed her into a sunflower. Born in Vittoria, Sicily, as the youngest of three siblings, her early years were marked by extensive travels due to her father's job.
Her passion for travel persisted, alongside a deep love for nature, animals, and long walks.
Among her educational experiences, she pursued a degree in Economics and Management at Bocconi University and a recent Real Estate Master at POLIMI University.
Early apprenticeships unfolded in communication, in the hospitality during the 2007 America's Cup in Valencia. This laid the foundation for her role as an Executive PA.
Clizia, after several years in the hospitality industry in Spain, strengthening her connection with gastronomy and fueling her passion for travel, has started a partnership with Vinnie in the racing yachts and luxury hospitality management sectors enhanced her strategic skills as property and facility manager. She oversees valuable properties worldwide, playing a critical role as a personal assistant and communication specialist.
VINNIE
Racing Yachts & Private adventure right-hand
Born in Gela, Sicily, Archestrato's country.
In the mid-19th century, Vincenzo Stamilla, an orphan, found fortune as a boat cook.
His grandson later ventured into private services as a "monsù" (head-chef for landlords).
Vinnie's family, rooted in farming and gardening, had a strong affinity for the sea, greatly influencing his passion for cooking. During his childhood, he started playing around the stove at home and the numerous pastry-shops of the neighborhood. As a Boy-Scout at the Salesian Youth Center in Gela, he preferred the port and countryside over the classroom.
After relocating to Northern Italy, he studied at the renowned Alberghiero E. Maggia of Stresa Institute, where he had the chance to learn the classic way of cooking, merging into the most ancient techniques. His training included practical experience at the Grand Hotel des Iles Borromees 5*.
Armed with his degree and a pilgrim's soul, he embarked on a global culinary exploration. His love for the sea led him to the yachting industry, managing services for significant nautical sport events.
In Spain, he obtained a professional degree for the outdoor world. Settling in Galicia, known for its gastronomic heritage and natural beauty, he established his base.
Currently, he balances work services with outdoor activities to nurture his spirit.
