Who is Andrea?

Andrea was born in Cologna Veneta (Verona) on 29 November 1980, but now he lives in Gambellara (Vicenza), he is one of our Senior Sales and Designers! He has been working at Fratelli Pellizzari for more than twenty years now and he is a pillar of our company.

He arrived one day in the summer of 1997 on a motorbike looking for a summer job, to earn a little money and gain experience in the field before going back to school to become a surveyor.
His humble and respectful attitude, together with his great desire to do and learn, convinced Michele Pellizzari to let him work that summer, under the wing of Sergio Girardi, in the construction warehouse, where he learned a lot about tiles, adhesives, building products and came into contact with layers, craftsmen and bricklayers. A flame lit in Andrea and, at the close of that summer, he asked Michele to stay on and grow within the showroom. Convinced by his desire to learn and grow, he placed him alongside the experienced salespeople in the shop at the time. Month after month, Andrea learned the job of a salesman and now he is one of the best here in Pellizzari.

While working, he continued his studies in interior design, graduating from the ISAI Institute (Interior Design Institute) in Vicenza. Over the years Andrea has remained in constant motion, always in search of knowledge and with the same desire to do as when he was just a boy. Today he, together with his colleague Yasmine Benetti, has formed a team (in Pellizzari we give the name GAVY at the team) that deals with the creation of complete homes: interior floor and wall coverings, outdoor paving and garden design, as well as swimming pools, interior decoration, bathroom and bathroom furniture,  living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, lighting and everything else that may come to mind when you think of a house!

Colleagues say abou Andrea

Over the years Andrea gained his own space at Pellizzari, but with the increase in requests and the scope of the projects commissioned, he decided at a certain point that it was time to be supported and to share the work. He has worked with many different people over the years, and this is how he recounts the passage of all these figures, some of whom are still with the company: "It was a bit like moving house, starting all over again every time the person changed. I had to find the right feeling, recreate a partnership, understand if our personalities could meet or were destined not to work together".

Today, the team he works in (don't call it 'his' because, for him, those who are part of it do not represent his property, but professionals who work in a joint team in which everyone is equal to the other and where everyone pursues common goals) has five interior designers, planners and renderers: Yasmine Benetti, Vanessa Zanetti, Giada Rossi and Luis Ahmeti. For him, this well-established team represents a second family: "In the end, it's a relationship, isn't it? It's like being a couple, only we're an extended couple. Transparency and clarity are important to us, we share everything, the days, the problems, the joys. And as a family, we try not to leave anyone behind and put everyone on the pace towards the goal'.

It is not uncommon to see Andrea working with his team until late in the evening, sharing some sweets passed under the counter or a couple of pizzas. They share a passion for their work and often make the office a second home, where ideas are continually exchanged in a never-ending creative flow, born from the need to create new and innovative solutions to satisfy customer requests, creating tailor-made solutions that respect the personality of the individual. I don't think there are any people better suited than the members of the team to describe who Andrea is and how he works:

His style: the home that moves

For him, the home is not just four walls to be filled. Everyone at Fratelli Pellizzari recognises his more emotional and creative approach. Home is a concept that changes from person to person, and he has the right sensitivity to understand what the idea of "home" is in those who rely on his expertise and, consequently, to adapt the design to the individual in a very personal way: "There are people who see the home in a colder way, others who arrive as a couple holding hands and see the home as a warm nest. Depending on the person, their age, their lifestyle, we consider a different design. We don't give them standard solutions, but something that will amaze them and also understand them deeply".

So, while maintaining a modern style, Andrea tries to design made-to-measure homes, like a tailor would do with a suit for a big event. He does not propose solutions that have been seen over and over again, his objective is quite different: "For me, design is about arriving at solutions that people who work in other fields, even if they started thinking about the house they would like, they would not be able to produce the designs that as a team cultivate". To amaze and create something unique is what drives his work. But in order to amaze, he must first get to know the person in front of him very well and understand what their ambitions are, what they want for their home, and often, when he talks about the home he has to design, he picks up on needs and desires that even the client didn't know he had. He will then stay up day and night looking for the perfect idea, as he says: "there are projects that are so special that they keep me up at night imagining and, when the right idea comes along, I have to catapult myself to draw it on paper so I don't lose sight of it".

Particularly talented in the design of external floors, you will find him knowledgeable and skilled in all types of flooring and wall coverings, as well as in the design of every room in the house.

Realisation: satisfied with the goal achieved?

For Andrea, the goal never arrives: there is always something new to do, to learn, revise and do better. But he also knows how to find the moment to rejoice and feel satisfaction when an achievement is completed. The idea developed after weeks of teamwork and months of building sites finally arrives in concrete reality and we can marvel together. The family finally lives its dream and can enjoy the new space. At the same time, this is a good time to take stock, to continue to improve and never get stuck on a temporary success: fashions change, people do too.

Despite the constant turnover, new projects and new customers, these are some of his achievements that make him particularly proud and that can make you understand what he does for the customers who rely on him. Behind every completed project there is a story waiting for you and that will make you understand if the needs of the initial customers have found resolution in the hands of the team.
