Stefano began his journey in the automotive world at an early age, working in his family’s village workshop. After studying accounting and completing military service, in 1990 he launched his growth project, which led him in 1995 to found the "Centro Servizi Auto Rasotto" in Dueville (VI). This was a single large facility that brought together all automotive services: Authorized Fiat Workshop, Body Shop, Auto Electrician, Tire Service, Vehicle Inspection Center, and New and Used Car Sales—offering an innovative service model for both businesses and private customers. The idea proved successful, and in just a few years the company grew from 5 to 25 employees, significantly increasing its turnover.
