Heartbeataly and our story!

In our agency, our division MZ Incentive had been organizing outgoing Incentive trips and conventions all over the world for Italian companies. We started to get quite a few requests from International companies that wanted to organize a trip or an event in Italy. We love our country so much that it was always such a pleasure to find unusual solutions for these programmes and it is so satisfying to be able to make International guests fall in love with Milan, Lombardy and the whole of our wonderful country. We always said that the beauty of our country made our heart beat faster so there it was – our name- Heartbeataly.
The staff have passion and experience and make sure that every client, whether they are big or small, gets the same amount of attention from us. We have organized a variety of projects from conventions in Milan with a short guided tour and wonderful dinners, to more elaborate tours that took the guests from Venice to Milan, passing though Lake Garda for a week, to conventions held in luxurious resorts in the beautiful southern beaches of Puglia are just some of the projects that we have managed.
Milan is such a strategic position, and that means that guests coming to our home city, can also still enjoy day trips to the Lakes, mountains, the Mediterranean coast and the dreamy villages, or to many, many beautiful cities, very easy to reach. A combination of Milan and Switzerland taking the guests on the Bernina express train, or taking them to explore the Langhe region that is a heaven on earth for those that love great food and wine, staying a couple of nights in Turin – the elegant city that surprises everyone.
Heartbeataly was born from passion and we would really like to have the opportunity to transmit the same passion to you and your guests. Let us open your eyes to possibilities that may surprise you.
