PrimaNuova Group builds structured decision-support tools for the moments that matter most: buying property abroad, spotting a scam, deciding whether to stay in California, or starting over after 60. Every product is built on the same rule: understand before you commit.
Every PrimaNuova product exists to help someone make an informed, structured, emotionally grounded decision before they commit time, money, or risk to it. No hype, no fear-based urgency. Just a calm, structured way to see what you're actually dealing with before you're in too deep.
That principle came from a very expensive lesson in Italy, not a boardroom. It shapes everything from how DolceRight walks you through an Italian property purchase to how TrustGuard IQ flags a scam before you send the money.
"What you don't know can cost you dearly. Structured evaluation, guardrails against impulsive decisions, transparent tradeoffs. No hype, no exaggerated claims."THE OPERATING PRINCIPLE BEHIND EVERY PRIMANUOVA PRODUCT
Two books and a growing app suite for anyone navigating property and life in Italy, built from a contractor fraud that nearly ended the dream, not a marketing plan.

Jan Savolainen lived with panic disorder for years before she ever got on that plane. She built PrimaNuova Group after things went badly wrong with that house, with no technical background, no team, and no plan, using AI as her creative and development partner the entire way. She's 68 now. She's not done.
