The Caltagirone family’s tradition of excellence naturally evolved into a legacy of timeless elegance, reflected in some of Italy’s most iconic properties. Their expertise and vision are woven into celebrated landmarks such as the Hilton Molino Stucky in Venice, a masterfully restored 19th-century flour mill turned luxury hotel. This dedication to blending heritage with sophistication
continues with the revival of the Grand Hotel des Étrangers in Syracuse, a symbol of aristocratic grandeur overlooking the Ionian Sea, and the meticulous preservation of Villa Igiea, a Belle Époque masterpiece beloved by royalty and luminaries alike. Each property stands as a testament to the family’s enduring commitment to craftsmanship, beauty, and Italian tradition.
Today, a dynamic new chapter is being written by The Calta Group — the privately held, Miami-based real estate development company founded by brothers Ignazio and Gaetano Caltagirone. Carrying forward generations of expertise, vision, and craftsmanship, The Calta Group blends Italian architectural heritage with the vibrant spirit of Miami, creating properties that embody both tradition and innovation.
Their developments weave together the elegance of old Miami with the energy of the new, drawing inspiration from Coral Gables landmarks like the iconic Biltmore Hotel, and the distinctive character of neighborhoods such as Wynwood, Brickell, South Beach, Edgewater, the Arsht District, the Design District, and Coconut Grove.
