Welcome to Rooming!
I am Matteo, the founder of Rooming, a company specialized in renting to students.
Since 2018, I have been experiencing the challenges that students face when looking for a single room in the city to build their future, living in positive, well-maintained environments designed specifically to eliminate the typical problems of shared living.
For many years, I worked in logistics and distribution, but as a child, I dreamed of being a chef. I still love cooking, perhaps because I often visited my uncles’ hotel kitchens, where hospitality has always been their passion.
This organized hospitality has been a part of my upbringing, subtly shaping my path. It inspired me to found Rooming in 2018, after a pivotal phone call from my friend Denis.
He told me about the difficulties he faced while searching for a room with a proper rental contract for his daughter—one that wasn’t rundown, poorly furnished, and dirty, like so many student rentals tend to be.
Essentially, he was looking for what every parent wants for their child.
That’s when I realized there is a significant issue in the city regarding the high demand for student housing, driven by the constant increase in students at the University of Padua.
Unfortunately, the supply is consistently poor, with agencies hastily and half-heartedly having contracts signed, while landlords rent out apartments filled with super old furniture.
I believe that students and their families should have the option to choose better living environments during their stay away from home—high-quality accommodations designed specifically for their needs, eliminating all potential issues related to shared living.
My work isn’t just about renting rooms to students; it’s about solving problems for families.
