During his education, he gained valuable work experience at the firms of Hanshen Dier and Mario Botta.

In 2009, she returned to Italy to focus on her family business, Moretti Modular Contractor, a firm with nearly 60 years of experience in the design and construction of large buildings using industrialized building systems. Here, Valentina developed an innovative project that introduced prefabrication to the housing sector, making architecture more accessible for the domestic dimension. This project, accompanied in its beginnings by Oliviero Toscani, gave rise to More, of which Valentina is now the founder and creative director. In 2015, More received the prestigious ADI Index award for Innovation and in 2016 the Prize of Prizes of the Presidency of the Republic. More currently, has exited the family holding company, operates as a benefit company, and is totally independent.

Valentina’s insatiable curiosity and her extraordinary ability to make innovative connections between ideas, individuals and processes have made her a leading figure in activating initiatives in very different areas, ranging from architecture to human resources to ESG engagement. The recreational and leisure aspect of people is also an area of thinking that Valentina pursues and imports into Family Holding.
