Growing up in a family deeply rooted in the world of restoration of historic monuments, and with a dynamic father like Maurizio Pouchain, Valentina breathed and lived architecture and design from an early age.

She built a solid and multifaceted career on this foundation, ranging from design and site management to property management. She has contributed to important scientific publications in the field of monument restoration and architectural conservation.

Her name is associated with some of the most prestigious projects in Rome and the Lazio region: from the functional renovation of Palazzo Patrizi Clementi – headquarters of the Lazio Architectural Superintendent – to the restoration of the façades of Palazzo Muti Bussi, and conversion of Palazzo Alberini into administrative offices for the renowned fashion brand Gucci.
