Our agent, Christian Marzullo, represented Dubai’s property sector within the Italian Parliament, officially showcasing the emirate’s dynamic market to European lawmakers.

First Property Consultant to Address Italy’s Parliament: Christian Marzullo

On September 18, 2025, the Chamber of Deputies in Rome hosted a defining moment as Dubai’s real estate market was formally presented inside a national parliament for the first time in history. 

Christian Marzullo, an Italian luxury real estate broker based in Dubai, spotlighted the emirate’s booming property market. His presentation highlighted how Dubai has become a bridge between Italy and the UAE, offering unmatched opportunities for investors, enterprises, and individuals seeking global growth.

A Landmark Conference: Made in Italy 2030

The milestone took place during the prestigious conference ‘Made in Italy 2030: Professionals and Enterprises for a New Global Positioning,’ which convened influential entrepreneurs, policymakers, and industry leaders.

The conference, promoted by Italian MP Cristina Almici, brought together leaders to explore how Italian excellence can enhance its global role. By placing Dubai’s property market at the center of the discussion, Almici emphasized Italy’s ambition to deepen ties with leading international hubs.

Dubai’s Growing Appeal in the Global Landscape

Dubai was chosen for this stage because of its global reputation:

• Trusted Investment Hub: Transparent regulations, freehold ownership, and Golden Visa opportunities.
• High ROI: Rental yields averaging 6–8%, often higher than major European cities.
• Cross-Border Appeal: Rising demand from European buyers, including Italians.
• Economic Partnerships: Real estate as a bridge for cultural and business diplomacy.

This aligns with broader market sentiment. According to the Dubai Land Department, transactions in H1 2025 reached AED 431 billion, with Europeans playing an increasingly active role.

From Sicily to Dubai to the Italian Parliament

During his intervention, Marzullo introduced his upcoming autobiographical and motivational book, “AVE – Aspire. Value. Endure.”

The book chronicles his journey from Sicily to Dubai, and now to the Italian Parliament, underlining the values of resilience, ambition, and the timeless spirit of Made in Italy carried abroad. Marzullo stated:

From Sicily to Dubai, and now to the Italian Parliament, I wanted to demonstrate how Dubai’s real estate market can inspire new international synergies. This milestone proves that Made in Italy and Dubai can speak the same language: vision, ambition, and global appeal.

The Bigger Picture: What This Means for Investors
