Start Working

Come Work Remotely in a Place You Can Call Home

Start Working is the project that’s turning Lunigiana into a hub for digital nomads and remote workers.

It all began with a dream: to repopulate the Apennines by attracting professionals from all over the world. Through a blend of services, coworking spaces, cultural initiatives, and the raw beauty of Lunigiana, the project has given life to a vibrant community that lives in — and actively uplifts — the territory.

Here, you’ll find not just a place to work, but an experience that connects people, ideas, and opportunities.

Pontremoli is in Lunigiana, Tuscany.

where we are

No, not that Tuscany.

Forget the soft hills and cypress trees — not around here.
We’re in a borderland between Tuscany, Liguria, and Emilia — right along the ancient Via Francigena, a crossroads for pilgrims and wanderers for centuries.

Here you’ll find rivers and forests, noble palaces and rustic dishes, bridges and castles, mountain trails and cobbled lanes through medieval villages.
Lunigiana is a wild, irreverent land — rumpled, untamed, deeply feminine and fertile.

Don’t be surprised if, when you leave, this place somehow stays inside you — without you even knowing why.

Testimonials

I chose Start-Working because I was looking for a peaceful place to get away from the chaos of Rome and be closer to nature. Right from the start, I was impressed by how quickly they responded to my email and their willingness to organize a get-to-know meeting about Pontremoli and the community. Also, since I don't have a car, having all services within walking distance (supermarkets, coworking space, pharmacies, etc., but also gyms, a small cinema, and restaurants) and the presence of a train station for travel were important factors in my decision to move.
Letizia
For me, Start-Working wasn't just an opportunity, but a real revelation. It's a different way of living, working, and building relationships that I recommend to anyone who wants to experience a new approach to daily life, made of authentic human connections and rediscovering the territory.
Pierpaolo
When choosing the ideal place to work remotely, the Start-Working reality in Pontremoli immediately presented itself as a unique project with admirable goals. It's founded on values that align with mine: a slow-paced rhythm, sharing and community, and the revaluation of areas of a "distant" Italy.
Michelle
3 years ago I brought my cats and my life to Pontremoli. My way of living and my priorities changed forever, thanks to all the Pontremoli residents who welcomed me, fed me, and quenched my thirst
Paola
Forget smart-working, here we do smile-working! Without too much stress after a day of work, you can relax with friends and enjoy a bianco oro
Ermes
Choose a place based on the view from its windows: if what you see makes you want to leave the house, that's the right place. After more than twelve years in Pontremoli, the window in my study still has the same effect on me.
Alberto
Every job requires careful testing, but if after work you can add a testarolo... it's a whole different story.
