Gabetti Group < History

History

The Gabetti Group boasts a history of over 70 years in the real estate sector.

Established in 1950 with the opening of the first real estate agency in Turin by Giovanni Gabetti, defined by many as the precursor to the modern concept of real estate agency. Business diversified between the 1950s and the 1980s, with the introduction of real estate financing activities, interventions in the industrial sector for tertiary use and strengthening of research activities with the Research Department. Gabetti thus became a Holding for all intents and purposes, with a unique model compared all of its competitors.
