From discovering Finland to an international project

The purchase of Kerimaa: ‘Our hope is to revitalise commercial activities throughout the Savonlinna area.’

Irene Zanella and Francesco Locatelli discovered Kerimaa in 2021 and were captivated by Finnish nature, the silence and the lifestyle in Savonlinna. They helped to initiate a collaboration that led to the development of a project with other Italian companies. A journey that began with a chance encounter with Finland and grew into an international initiative.
