A passionate entrepreneur, leading projects and people in hospitality, Italian-made manufacturing and music production
With over 35 years of experience as an entrepreneur, my skills in management, marketing and music entertainment have enabled me to build businesses by taking an idea I believe in, developing a vision and creating the right team to make it happen.
People are at the heart of all the businesses and projects I’ve led. My business philosophy is grounded in having the utmost respect for each individual and understanding the importance of listening. This has given me the chance to build proficient teams of people to develop ideas, projects and grow successful businesses in various industries.

Welcome Happyness!
Kim Sooyoung and friends. February 2022
Over a period of 10 years I have grown a guest-centric boutique hotel – Hotel Marcantonio Rome – which welcomes guests from all over the world, and we have 3 other hotels opening soon. After working in manufacturing and exporting high quality Italian-made products across the globe, it was time to show the value of Italian hospitality to guests visiting from all different countries and cultures. This business is characterized by my personal dedication to building and offering hospitality based on a mix of the Japanese concept of wholeheartedly caring for guests – “Omotenashi” – and the welcoming nature of Italian tradition in Rome.
AUTOMOTIVE & TECHNOLOGY
Mercedes Benz 630 – Saoutchik 1928
Three years ago, I was invited to take a budding startup and turn it into a successful business. The concept was to use 3D technology to design and reproduce components for vintage cars and supercars. It’s a fusion of technology and creativity, using avant-garde technology to revive something that would otherwise be swallowed by the passage of time. What an incredible opportunity and exciting challenge to be a part of!
Music Entrepreneurship
The playbill of “The Black Corsaire the Musical”
“Melody is the great beauty of music”
Music has always had the incredible power to caress my soul, serving as a constant muse and a profound source of inspiration. It shapes the evocative elements that have consistently fueled all of my musical productions. From “Christmas il Musical,” the first Italian musical, to “Musica in movimento,” a concept show for Patrizia Laquidara, and “The Black Corsaire The Musical,” based on Emilio Salgari’s novel, as well as more commercially-driven productions.
Beyond the casual use we make of it every day, music serves as an important vehicle for disseminating crucial messages in a world that increasingly yearns for meaningful ideological references.
The time is now
I am now embarking on the most ambitious project of my life: LA TRAVIATA The Musical, with composer Mirco Dalporto — the heart of a larger transmedia vision that also includes the biographical novel The Last Camellia and a limited drama series in development.
For this musical I am assembling an all-female creative team. Who better than women to give voice to this story? Their diverse perspectives will bring an authentic emotional depth that no mixed team could replicate.
La Traviata is Verdi’s most performed opera in the world — yet few know the extraordinary true story behind it. Alphonsine Plessis, born into poverty in provincial France, rose to become the most celebrated woman in 1840s Paris before dying at twenty-three. Her life inspired Dumas, then Verdi, then the world.
Our project restores the truth to the woman behind the myth.
This is a story never fully told. The time to tell it is now.
