Massimiliano
Mattetti

Born and raised in Rome, I have spent my last fifteen years dedicating myself to what I always loved: menswear. However my passion for being well-dressed started a long time ago, with my first 17 professional years, when I had to wear an impeccable military uniform. This experience probably gave me the clinical eye for “perfection” that I am using for our bespoke program.

Having worked for so long in the industry, I have had the luck to connect with key people in the industry. This way I have not only grown under the professional aspect but also built relationships that allow MASSIMO ROMA to offer affordable top-quality products at affordable prices.

Today, after having served over 6000 clients (from all over the world), I still enjoy helping people building their wardrobes that reflect their personalities/style, just like the first day I started.
My goal is not only to get my clients dressed well but also to leave with them a unique shopping experience that leaves a personal connection with their Custom Clothier.

I speak fluently Italian, English, Swedish, Spanish and Portuguese.
