Our Story

From Italy
to Dubai

Over 50 years of Italian real estate and design heritage, brought to one of the world's most dynamic cities.

Italian Opera is a luxury interior design and fit-out studio based in Dubai, founded on the heritage of Romeo Lippi Immobiliare, an Italian real estate and design firm with over 50 years of experience. We bring something beyond aesthetics: the conviction that a truly beautiful space is one where you feel at ease every single day. Authentic Italian materials, direct artisan relationships, and a deep understanding of how homes are actually lived in — this is what we bring to residential villas, Italian restaurants, and premium commercial spaces across the UAE.

Heritage

Rooted in
Italian Tradition

Romeo Lippi Immobiliare was founded in Italy in 1975, beginning as a real estate firm with deep connections to the country's artisan community. Over five decades, the firm developed a unique expertise: understanding not only how to make spaces beautiful, but how to make them work brilliantly for the people who live in them. Relationships with marble quarries, ceramic workshops, furniture makers, and textile producers across Italy became the foundation for a design philosophy where beauty and practicality are inseparable.

Italian Opera represents the evolution of this heritage — bringing authentic Italian design knowledge to Dubai. Here, the demand for genuine luxury meets one of the world's most ambitious built environments, and we add something essential: the understanding that luxury without livability is merely decoration.
