Il Salviatino Collection. A second property opened in Verona, two more will come in Rome and Venice...Guests don’t just recommend Il Salviatino, they recommend (read: insist upon) specific service ambassadors for their friends and relatives. Which is exactly the effect Pigozzo had hoped for.

aman venice (24 rooms) may have opportunities via owners (count & princess)
there may also be interesting guests at aman venice during major events

Villa Tre Ville in Positano. Service was excellent, great food, beautiful views, the rooms quite big with great bathrooms, and the ambiance of the whole place felt like being back in the Golden Era. The estate belonged to an Italian composer, but was just recently completely refurbished. The have a complimentary house shuttle boat to transport guests between the Positano marina and the hotel.
bernstein suite shower looks incredible:

possibly the largest en-suite shower anywhere? possibly by a reasonably significant margin too
