DeA Capital is an asset management giant in Italy, but still a dwarf in Europe, particularly in France, where it has recently been deploying its capital. On a European scale, real estate assets under management total €14.5 billion, of which almost €13 billion in Italy. Admittedly, European development is still very recent. "We have decided to open up internationally in 2019 as part of our diversification strategy, starting with France, then Spain, Germany and Poland," says Emanuele Dubini, head of international activities.
