Virginie Vassart embodies a personal journey shaped by cultural, professional, and experiential cross-pollination. Born in Brussels, the heart of Europe and a city steeped in her family’s long-standing real estate heritage, she grew up in Spain, studied in Bruxelles, and honed her craft between Rome, Paris, and New York, embracing her identity as a true citizen of the world.

Her deep ties to real estate development, particularly in Belgium and Spain, combined with her career in journalism, have provided her with a unique perspective. Over the years, she has become a well-known face on television thanks to a career that has seen her work as a foreign correspondent, host programs for RAI, and develop a vast network of prestige that includes institutional figures, leaders, and international celebrities. This 20 years of experience in the field of communications combined with a deep knowledge of the Italian territory have served as a natural bridge to her role with Forbes Global Properties.

In Como, she found her personal Dolce Vita, channeling her experience into the world of real estate, lifestyle, and luxury living. Today, as a consultant for high-profile clients, she continues her family’s legacy in a career that is a constant pursuit and celebration of beauty: in properties, places, people, and the extraordinary stories they carry.
