A Trusted and Local Real Estate Agency in the Heart of Tuscany

A Trusted and Local Real Estate Agency in the Heart of Tuscany
My name is Lorenzo Lucani, founder of Toscana Servizi Immobiliari. I was born and raised in Cortona, as were my parents, and for nearly three decades I have dedicated my professional life to helping clients discover, acquire and sell exceptional properties in one of the most beautiful areas of Tuscany.
Since 1997, I have worked as a real estate agent with a particular focus on prestigious residences, historic homes, country estates, villas and distinctive properties throughout Cortona and the surrounding Tuscan countryside.
My roots here are an essential part of the service I offer. A lifetime spent in Cortona has given me an intimate knowledge of the territory, its history, its people and its property market. This local expertise, combined with a genuine passion for Tuscany and an international approach to real estate, allows me to offer clients far more than a simple property search.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of representing and selling remarkable properties to clients from Italy and around the world, working with buyers and sellers with very different backgrounds, expectations and levels of investment. Whatever the value of the transaction, my philosophy remains the same: every client deserves discretion, personal attention, transparency and the highest level of professional care.
At Toscana Servizi Immobiliari, we believe that purchasing a home in Tuscany is rarely just a real estate transaction. For many international buyers, it is the fulfilment of a long-held dream and often the beginning of a new chapter in life.
For this reason, I personally accompany my clients throughout the entire process: from understanding their wishes and selecting the most suitable properties, to negotiations, technical and legal due diligence, and finally the signing of the deed. My aim is to make even the most complex transaction feel clear, secure and carefully managed.
The same dedication is offered to property owners who entrust us with the sale of their homes. Each property is personally evaluated and carefully selected, with particular attention to its character, positioning and international potential.
The principle behind Toscana Servizi Immobiliari is simple: to provide discerning buyers and sellers with a complete, highly professional and genuinely personal real estate service.
My academic background has also shaped the way I approach my profession. I hold a degree in Philosophy and a Master’s Degree in History from the University of Siena. This passion for history, culture and the identity of places gives me a particular appreciation for the architectural and historical heritage of the properties I represent.
I have been a member of FIAIP – the Italian Federation of Professional Real Estate Agents – since 2001. From 2017 to 2021, I served as Foreign Sector Delegate for the Tuscany Region, Vice President for the Province of Arezzo, and as a member of the FIAIP Tuscany Regional Council.
International real estate has always been an important part of my professional activity. I regularly attend specialist training programmes, including CIPS – Certified International Property Specialist, TRC – Transnational Referral Certification, and executive courses at SDA Bocconi University, and I personally participate in international real estate exhibitions and professional events across Europe.
Today, this combination of deep local roots, international experience and almost thirty years of real estate expertise enables Toscana Servizi Immobiliari to offer clients a highly specialised service in the Tuscan luxury property market.
Our offices are located in the historic centre of Cortona, overlooking the magnificent Piazza della Repubblica. It is a place that perfectly represents who we are: deeply connected to the history and beauty of Tuscany, yet accustomed to welcoming clients from every part of the world.
Whether you are searching for an elegant residence in Cortona, a traditional Tuscan farmhouse, a historic estate, a villa surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, or you are considering selling an exceptional property in this unique part of Italy, we would be delighted to welcome you and guide you personally through every stage of your journey.
