Rome - Dober Partners

Rome

Rome remains the essential gateway to national policy for any company or sector operating in Italy. Over the last 10 years Rome has become a more sophisticated, politically attuned public affairs market that balances formal lobbying channels with deep, relationship-based influence work.

We serve clients in Italy from our office in Rome, with local insider Michele Savarese and international experts.
