Hello!
We are two brothers who help business owners build their businesses, put their lives in order and work on their legacy, alongside a community of people doing the same.
Hi, I'm Cris, and as an entrepreneur and investor, I have set up more than 20 companies in 5 different countries. On my journey, I have always been curious about studying influential and successful people and within European history, the Medici family with its rise from cloth merchants to bankers, branching out into politics, art, architecture and religion is the most fascinating to me.
I have spent years studying what the Medici built, what they put in order and what they entrusted to the next generation. That work became Legacy Architecture: helping business owners and families work on their legacy while they are still building.
Hi, I'm Philip, an investor, strategist and CEO of Medici Global Ventures. For over 20 years, I’ve worked in personal and business development with leaders worldwide, driven by a deep passion to help ambitious business owners design a beautiful life and a beautiful business.
We believe in the power of community—not only drawing inspiration from the legacy of the Medici family but also actively applying their timeless strategies and principles to enrich our own lives and ventures.
Yours,
Cris & Philip

NEW RELEASE
FROM SUCCESS TO SIGNIFICANCE
BY CRIS AUDITORE ZIMMERMANN
At the height of the Renaissance, Lorenzo de’ Medici led Florence through crisis, art, and transformation. Banker, poet, and patron of genius, he turned tragedy into unity and power into legacy. Under his guidance, Botticelli painted The Birth of Venus, Michelangelo carved his first marble, and a new vision of leadership was born.
From Success to Significance draws practical lessons from Lorenzo’s life and the masterpieces he inspired, twelve works of art that reveal enduring truths about ambition, wisdom, and legacy.
Discover how to master yourself before leading others, turn crisis into creativity, and build what outlasts fortune.
Lorenzo’s story is more than just history; it’s a blueprint for modern leadership and a reminder that the greatest legacy isn’t wealth, but significance.
