Help Us Build A Smart App for Shared Ownership in Italy

I’m reaching out with a unique opportunity to contribute to something beautiful, meaningful, and functional.

At The Pinelli Group, we restore historic villas and apartments in Southern Italy and make them available through responsible fractional ownership — a sustainable alternative to second-home buying that doesn’t displace local communities.

We’re now building a lightweight mobile app to help our co-owners easily manage their annual stay allocations, based on a rotating share model. The app is called:

“My Pinelli Weeks”

It’s not a massive platform — just an elegant tool for good people who share homes, not headaches.

We’re offering:

Full visual and technical brief (already prepared)

A clean MVP build (basic logic, calendar, owner login)

Public credit and co-branding (for portfolio or startup)

Optional: letter of recommendation or testimonial

Possible trade for off-peak usage in Italy (!)

This is ideal for:

Student dev teams (capstone project)

Indie developers with a love of Italy or shared living

Anyone interested in sustainable real estate, travel tech, or UX simplicity

Let me know if this speaks to you. I’d be happy to share the full spec and work with you to build something elegant and lasting.

Warmest regards,
Nigel Carley
Co-Founder, The Pinelli Group
