Based in the ASZ Milan office, Vincenzo graduated in Architecture from the prestigious Politecnico di Milano, where he also served as a Teaching Assistant. During and right after his academic journey, he had several experiences abroad in Germany and Turkey, where he deepened his knowledge on both urban and architectural scales. These international experiences enriched his perspective and continue to influence his approach to each work.

Started at ASZ in 2015, Vincenzo has contributed to an extensive portfolio of projects across Europe, focusing on luxury retail as a key project manager and lead architect, while always giving due consideration to the architectural dimension of every project.

In 2025, he became a partner, assuming the role of Director of Retail Europe.

Iacopo joined ASZ in 2007, progressively taking on responsibility for numerous projects in the retail, office, commercial, and residential sectors, collaborating with luxury brands such as Burberry, Gucci, Prada, Dior, Sergio Rossi, and Hogan.
