In the caption, she wrote: "Anyone who knows me knows how ecstatic I am to be standing in front of the 'Friends' building. My obsession knows no bounds." According to his profile and a blog on the company's website, Niccolò has over two decades of experience in finance and real estate and used to work as a trader. "I grew up in Rome, but came to boarding school in England at the age of 15, because I loved to play football," he wrote on the site's Brummell Blog. "That was my first taste of the country, and I knew I'd be back. I then moved to France to study at the American University of Paris, and while there, got into sailing."
