A blank sheet, four fields.

Fill them in and we will have a real answer for you inside two working days — including the answer where we say no.

The same four fields we write under every project, before there is a project. If you do not know the weeks yet, put the date it has to exist by and we will work backwards.

What happens after you write

  1. 01Agnese reads it the same day and writes the four fields into the enquiry book. You get a number.
  2. 02Within two working days: yes with a start week and a figure, no with the reason, or a question if the brief is thinner than it looks.
  3. 03If it is a yes, ninety minutes together — here, at yours, or on a call. Free, and we bring three projects near yours.
  4. 04A two-page proposal: weeks, people, fee, what is not included. No deck, no mood images, no second meeting to explain it.

In 2025 we answered 61 enquiries, met 19 of them and took 6.

Thursday afternoons

Come and stand close.

The wall changes every Friday, so a Thursday visit catches it at its fullest. Thirty minutes, no presentation, and you can take anything off the wall and turn it over. Three of our last six clients came this way.

Vicenza station is eleven minutes on foot. Parking is impossible; the garage on Contrà Mure San Rocco is four minutes and costs €2.40 an hour.

Or just telephone. Somebody picks it up.

+39 0444 218 640, Monday to Thursday, 09.00 to 18.30. It rings on the wall by the lift and whoever is nearest answers it, which is sometimes the apprentice and sometimes a partner.
