From October 10th to 13th, the Medici Gathering brought together 120 entrepreneurs and their spouses from around the globe for an unforgettable three-day experience in the heart of Florence. Hosted at the exclusive House of Nine members club and a nearby 5-star hotel, this event seamlessly combined elegance, networking, and authentic Italian charm.

The gathering commenced with a welcome aperitivo at the House of Nine, where guests were greeted with canapés, champagne, personalized name tags, and beautifully curated goodie bags. Following a welcome speech, the group strolled to the traditional Trattoria Cucina Torcicoda for a Tuscan-style dinner, where they savored classic Florentine dishes, including the famous bistecca alla Fiorentina.

Day two began with inspiring talks and interviews, setting the stage for insightful roundtable discussions and guided city tours. The evening featured an exclusive wine tasting at the historic Cantinetta Antinori, where guests sampled renowned Italian wines like Solaia and Tignanello. This was followed by an exquisite gala dinner at the Michelin-starred restaurant, Atto di Vito Mollica. Guests enjoyed an elegant reception with champagne, canapés, live piano music, and a striking photo wall. The Michelin-star chef personally introduced the guests to each dish, leading into a spectacular four-course dinner. The evening concluded with a captivating violin performance, an interview with the Slovak Prime Minister, and a relaxed after-dinner session with whiskey, billiards, and cigars.

On the final day, guests reconvened at the clubhouse for morning discussions, highlighted by a memorable interview with the Princess of Liechtenstein. After a group photo, attendees embarked on further city tours before gathering one last time for a farewell dinner back at the House of Nine. The evening featured an impressive Italian buffet, a live performance by soul and funk sensation Kavinya Ndumbu and the Daisy’s Band, a lively tiramisu show, and dancing that carried on late into the night.
