Tiziana Marcuccio
Founder & Managing Director

Tiziana was born in Milan and raised between Milan and Puglia, where her family is from. From an early age, curiosity drew her toward new places and, above all, the people who give them their character.

After beginning her career in sales and marketing, she spent fourteen years with the trade and investment arm of the UK government. Working across a wide range of sectors, she helped entrepreneurs and companies explore opportunities and expand internationally.

Her own ambition had always been to experience life in another country—not as a visitor, but as a resident. In 2019, she made that move, relocating to New York City with her young son. She now works as a business consultant and divides her time between the United States and Italy.

Throughout those years, Puglia has remained a constant: the place where she reconnects with the sea, the land and a different rhythm of life, away from the pace of Milan and New York.

Over more than twenty years, Tiziana has advised American, Italian and British clients facing complex business and cross-border decisions. Her strength lies in understanding what a client truly needs, bringing together the right people and information, and guiding each decision with clarity.

“Having bought and rented property in Italy, I know the process from the inside. Living and working between Italy and the United States has also given me a deep understanding of both cultures, their expectations and their different ways of doing business. I created
fortyseventeen Advisory to connect those worlds and help clients approach property and relocation decisions with clarity, confidence and trusted local support.”

The name fortyseventeen comes from Puglia’s geographical coordinates—40°N, 17°E. It is where the journey begins.
