Gunther, the world’s richest dog, buys Nicolas Cage’s private island in the Bahamas

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by
Following the worldwide success of Gunther’s Millions on Netflix, the Gunther Trust’s projects and investments continue: in fact, the webseries concludes with a coming soon by Prof. Mian and Carla to one of Gunther’s formerly owned properties in the Bahamas. The island called Leaf Cay, a private island owned by Nicolas Cage, in addition to diversifying Gunther’s resources, will become an animal welfare center. What does this have to do with me? Obviously I will be in charge of all communication activities. See you on Netflix.

An incredible story broadcast on Netflix

Netflix’s new series, Gunther’s Millions, is unlike any other. Its singular subject matter keeps viewers glued to the screen as they wonder, “Can it get any crazier than this?” And it does.

Images of crowds of fans, world press, celebrity relationships, mega-yachts, supercars, “free love” nightclubs, cult bands, soccer teams, pop star Madonna’s Miami mansion, and, most intriguingly, a 30-year research project on happiness flow by.

Surprisingly, this is only the tip of the iceberg, because Gunther’s story is by no means over.

Gunther’s Millions: sequel kicks off with island in the Bahamas

With the purchase of Nicolas Cage’s paradisiacal island, Mian and the Gunther Trust intend to continue scientific research on happiness, social experiments, and initiatives for the welfare of people and animals, as well as to contribute to the diversification of Gunther’s estate.

What many people don’t know is that as the Gunther Group’s communications consultant, I was the one who presented the island’s strategic plan directly to the professor two years ago. The one that is now turning into reality.

As the custodian of Gunther and his legacy, Dr. Mian in addition to the island in the Bahamas, has now thrown himself headlong into the development of an unprecedented NFT collection that follows the wave of the series, titling it precisely “Gunther’s Rich Dog Collection.”

But the new projects do not end there. In fact, I have received the green light for investments in sports. Motta di Livenza right now would have many opportunities in this regard. I have also recently had proposals to take over sports clubs in the Livenza area. But I honestly think that local management is not yet ready for the entry of big capital.

THE PRIEST: the production of the 1st international Italian-Thai TV series has started

/in , , /by

At the end of the month will begin filming the teaser: Ray Liotta, the "good guy" is the star among the candidates for lead actor.

With this new year I have decided to add to my other activities an important return as a film producer with the TV series “The Priest”.

The decision is not at all casual. The year 2020 was a difficult year for the film world as well, proof of this is the fact that nothing was produced. This situation caused by the pandemic has increased the need for large streaming platforms like Netflix to have new and appealing content.

EVERYTHING IS READY FOR THE SHOOTING OF THE TV SERIES “THE PRIEST”

Venetia Communication’s productions in the Bangkok office are starting again. At the end of the month will be shot the teaser for a new TV series, called “THE PRIEST”. Set in modern Thailand, across Bangkok and major cities and some islands, the series tells the story of an excommunicated priest. After becoming embroiled in a scandal, an early retirement deal gets him out of the Vatican….

The protagonist is actually a “dismissed” man of God. Violence, narcotics, corruption and prostitution will cause him to lose his sight. Among the candidates for the role is Ray Liotta, the star of “Goodfellas,” Martin Scorsese’s absolute cult film starring Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci.

Filming of “The Priest” will take place between Thailand, Vatican City and Italy.

THE PRODUCTION TEAM

I will have the pleasure to be producer of this exciting project together with Niccolò Bordin, aka Niccolò de la Fère. The director of the series is Joshua Dixon, post-production supervisor is Brynley Cadman, line producer & production manager are Andrew Millet and Arthur Bloon.

The production company Mbrella Films operates in Thailand and works with the best stunts and action designers in Asia. With figures from the team of Tony Jaa (Ong Bak) and Previz fighting designers from films such as Black Panter (Marvel). In the crew there is also the weapon specialist of “Extraction”, film with the well-known actor Chris Hemsworth.

Distribution of “The Priest” is secured by executive producer Daniel Zirilli, producer of more than 50 films and 250 music videos and documentaries.

Who will get international distribution? Netflix? Hulu? Itunes Movies? HOOQ? Amazon?

We’ll see.

MY RETURN TO THE ROLE OF PRODUCER

The role of producer is not new to me. It was 2017 when the short film “Sulla Riva” was released, produced by Venetia Communication and directed by Niccolò de la Fère.

The film, set in the Venetian countryside at the end of the 18th century, is shot in the Venetian language of the time. The story is centered on the figure of an old farmer, who, having reached the last days of his life, tries to do one last good deed to redeem himself.

“The Priest” TV series and the reactivation of the Bangkok film location will be a new international push for the business model I have built. Investments and content will be increasingly directed on this path.

NASCE IL BULL DAYS OFF SERENISSIMA

/in , , /by

The spotlight on the Principality of Monaco moves to Caorle, Jesolo and the Venetian coast to create business synergies and give life to a new luxury tourism.

The OFF formula of Bull Days, an event created by the Lamborghini Club to extend today to luxury brands, is ready to reach the Adriatic coast, between Caorle, Jesolo and Venice. The Monte Carlo – Côte d’Azur 2020 edition was an official event approved by the Monegasque government, which brought together important names from the world jet set. The latter proved to be the driving force for the 2021 editions of what has now become an unmissable event for Lamborghini owners and luxury brands from all over the world. This is how the Bull Days OFF Serenissima was born.

BULL DAYS OFF SERENISSIMA

On 23-24-25 April 2021, the 2nd edition of Bull Days OFF, this year’s preview of the Bull Days Tuscany Reloaded, will cross some of the most famous and visited locations on the splendid Venetian coast. Caorle, called the little Venice, where the signs of two thousand years of history are condensed in the historic center full of streets and squares up to the surrounding lagoon.

Jesolo, a famous seaside resort with over 5 million tourists per year. Here nature and fun take shape along the streets, squares and 15 km of golden beach. Arriving as far as the queen of the Adriatic, Venice, one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

Bull Days Off Serenissima

FROM MONTECARLO TO ITALY FOLLOWING THE SAME MODEL

Bull Days is the result of a business model that is now internationally recognized. Authentic emotions and a sense of belonging are the keys to developing important synergies and relationships, overcoming any single-company vision. Creating a horizontal network oriented to the world of luxury in all its facets is therefore the ultimate goal.

The Bull Days OFF Serenissima will follow the Monegasque example to involve prestigious brands and companies. Create partnerships and business synergies capable of promoting the economy and a new type of tourism for the area.

The spotlight on the Principality of Monaco moves to Caorle, Jesolo and the Venetian coast. Yachts, helicopters and many other unique and exclusive experiences will come to life on the coast of the Serenissima.

CAORLE THE SMALL VENICE

The epicenter of this experience will be Caorle. One of the most popular tourist destinations in the Upper Adriatic, rich in art, culture and unspoiled nature. A short walk in the heart of the town is enough to understand the origin of the claim “Small Venice”.

From the beautiful Piazza Vescovado of Venetian tradition to the bright colors of the fishermen’s houses. The timeless charm of Caorle, which in ancient times was a small archipelago connected by bridges, is the same that animates Venice.

But this city certainly does not live in the past, it is in fact implementing a real master plan to differentiate and renew its tourist offer. These important investments are aimed not only at the promotion of cycle tourism and other activities, but above all at the creation of luxury centers for a demanding and sought-after public.

It is within these strategies that the Bull Days Off Serenissima fits. A common vision was therefore the fundamental prerequisite for starting to create something unique.

I sincerely thank the city and its representatives who are making this possible. Especially in a difficult period like this it is important to have the strength and the courage not to stop and keep looking ahead.

All you can stay

A new format for tourism: “All you can stay”

/0 Comments/in , /by

The idea of a resort in the Maldives to fight the world crisis that has also hit the tourism sector

In this difficult moment, devising new marketing strategies and innovative offers has become even more essential. It is precisely in moments of crisis that the best ideas are born. Numerous new formats for tourism are emerging in this period to limit the damage of the pandemic to the travel sector. Examples are the “flights to nowhere” promoted by various airlines, or the aimless cruises proposed by the Singapore Tourism Board. The latest model was named “All you can stay”.

“ALL YOU CAN STAY”: how does the formula work?

Anantara Veli Maldives Resort has launched the exclusive “Unlimited Stays in Paradise” package. Throughout 2021 it will be possible to have unlimited access to the splendid structures at a fixed cost of 30 thousand dollars. This idea was immediately equated by the media with the well-known “all you can eat” formula of restaurants.

The resort writes on its official website: “Make this paradise island your refuge for 2021”.

The “all you can stay” special offer is valid for two people and includes an extended stay from January 1, 2021 to December 23, 2021. Including and without limitation, the speedboat transfers. The fabulous bungalow on the crystal clear waters of the Maldives will be the ideal place to unwind and enjoy a unique experience full of activities. All without isolating yourself from the world. The initiative, a consequence of this particular historical moment, is in fact also aligned with the growing needs of smart working.

Smart Working and new tourism models

The world of tourism and beyond are increasingly orienting themselves to remote working methods. Redevelopment of ancient uninhabited villages, reduction of pollution, but also new impetus for innovative, exclusive and luxury tourism models.

Are you ready to go?

Bull Days Luxury Experience

BULL DAYS LUXURY EXPERIENCE: The event dedicated to Lamborghini owners is ready to change skin.

/in , , , /by

Bull Days will increasingly be the ideal business model to develop synergies in the world of luxury.

Bull Days was born in 2017 as the Lamborghini Club Italia event par excellence. Since then, a lot of “road” has been covered, in just three years it has become one of the most important events not only for Lamborghini owners all over the world, but also for various luxury brands. This year’s edition, from Monte Carlo to Cannes, locations famously loved by the world jet set, marked an important step in the growth of an elevation process that began already in 2019. [FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE AXIS OF LUXURY GENERATED BY BULL DAYS MONTECARLO].

Bull Days has been, will continue to be and will forever be the perfect representation of everything I have held in my heart since childhood. Lamborghini first of all and the passion for my work. It is indisputable and now affirmed in the eyes of the world that Bull Days can no longer be identified only as an important moment for those who own a Lambo.

Of course, this will be an essential condition, but it is inevitable that there is a mutation of the soul of the event, increasingly attractive towards luxury brands of every sector and type. The business model on which it is based, therefore, is no longer just a theory, but an unequivocal proof that the vision was the right one.

The business model

The roadshow is only one element, albeit an important one, of a broader format which, by involving important economic players, is able to establish innovative synergies. Every single-company point of view is outdated, one of the keys to success of this model is precisely that of starting from a “mother” brand, Bull Days, to open a vast horizontal network increasingly oriented towards luxury [FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE INTERVIEW IN GAZZETTINO]. Generating interactions between major brands through a formula capable of transmitting a strong sense of belonging.

It is precisely this feeling that is one of the winning ingredients of the event. Bull Days is not just an event but above all a group of people who share the same passions, ambitions and lifestyle. Owning a Lamborghini specimen is not the mere achievement of a status symbol, it is rather a deep desire generated by a specific way of being. The supercars of the Casa del Toro are not just luxury cars, they are the reflection of a self-made personality that knows what it wants from life. Being a Lamborghini owner has more to do with being than with having.

Luxury experience & International format

The luxury experience will be the characteristic aspect capable of elevating the Bull Days. Not an after sales event like those normally organized by parent companies, but a meeting aimed directly at the emotions and personality of those who drive a Lamborghini. Emotional involvement and the sharing of common passions are the ideal thread to create an unforgettable experience.

The constant interaction with an international audience will make the BULL DAYS LUXURY EXPERIENCE a format that can be replicated all over the world, becoming the perfect tool to build new economic, tourist and commercial assets.

A change of skin is therefore underway, for the project where to participate it is mandatory to own a Toro di Sant’Agata.

Lamborghini Huracán STO

The new Lamborghini Huracán STO has been unveiled

/in , , /by

A SUPERCAR WITH GT3 STYLE: 100 kg less, rear-wheel drive, 640 HP 5.2 V10 naturally aspirated engine to bring the track experience to the road

Yesterday afternoon Automobili Lamborghini finally unveiled the Lamborghini Huracán STO, Homologated Super Trofeo. The new model is a further evolution of the Huracán. The starting point of the technicians of the house of Toro was in fact the Performante version, every aspect of the car was further improved especially in terms of aerodynamics. The natural habitat of the STO is not just one, it is approved for both the track and the road.

The new model is openly inspired by the Lamborghini Squadra Corse, the company department dedicated to motorsport. To bring this unique creation to life, the superior aerodynamics and engineering solutions of the Huracán Super Trofeo EVO and Huracán GT3 EVO, three-time winner of the 24 Hours of Daytona and twice of the 12 Hours of Sebring, have been enhanced.

Lamborghini Huracán STO

Lamborghini Huracán STO: track character

Thanks to its naturally aspirated 640 hp (470 kW) V10 engine generating 565 Nm at 6500 rpm and a weight / power ratio of 2.09 kg / hp, the Huracán STO goes from 0 to 100 km / h in 3.0 seconds and from 0 to 200 km / h in 9.0 seconds, with a top speed of 310 km / h and a braking distance from 100 km / h to 0 in 30.0 meters.

These features combined with the motorsport design, high aerodynamics and ease of steering, make driving this super sports car a breathtaking experience.

AERODYNAMIC DESIGN

There are numerous characteristic aerodynamic elements that the new model takes from the Squadra Corse. For example, as regards the exterior: the front splitter, the louver in the fenders, the ventilation ducts on the hood and the NACA duct on the fender, the shark fin, the air scoop and an adjustable rear wing. All this is accompanied by a huge weight reduction thanks to the use of ultra-light carbon fiber panels and the development of “sandwitch” aerospace technology. Another distinctive element of the Lamborghini Huracán STO is the particular “cofango” that unites the bonnet and fender.

Lamborghini Huracán STO

SPORTY AND LUXURY INTERIORS

The interior of the Lamborghini Huracán STO also follows the sporty character of the exterior. Carbon fiber is the most common element, it is present in the door panels and seats. The light Alcantara upholstery, the four-point seat belts, combined with the new touchscreen and the advanced telemetry system make track performance comfortable but extremely exciting.

Lamborghini: Stephan Winkelmann returns as Ceo

/in , , /by

The official return to the Casa del Toro of the German manager, former CEO from 2005 to 2016, is shortly missing to replace Stefano Domenicali.

The domino effect caused by the exiting of historic team principal Chase Carey from Formula 1 is now nearing its conclusion. Stefano Domenicali will leave Automobili Lamborghini to replace Carey in F1, while the current Bugatti President Stephan Winkelmann will become CEO of the Sant’Agata Bolognese company.

Stephan Winkelmann: creator of the Lamborghini Urus

It is not a new role for the German, from 2005 to 2016 he was at the helm of the Lamborghini brand leaving a great memory. He was the architect of the birth of Urus and during its management he signed an important agreement for the expansion of the Sant’Agata factory.

From 2016 to 2018 he served as President of Audi‘s sports division and later held the same position at Bugatti. It was here that he started the production of the fabulous super sports cars Divo and Centodieci, the Voiture Noire for Ferdinand Piech, the 1,825 hp hypercar Bolide, as well as the limited edition Chiron.

Lamborghini: Stephan Winkelmann Ceo. The return of the German executive is part of a wider picture, the Volkswagen group is in fact working on the Lamborghini spin-off (together with Ducati and Italdesign) while Bugatti could be sold to Rimac, the Croatian manufacturer of high performance electric cars.

Stephan Winkelmann’s official Lamborghini deal is expected to arrive by the end of this month, even if the Emilian brand in Gazzetta Motori has already given the return of the top manager.

He has defeated all rivals to fill the prestigious role in the company, including Jörg Astalosch, current head of ItalDesign but who could become Skoda’s new Cfo in March 2021.

The beginning of a new Lamborghini adventure is getting closer and closer.
