i. Biography
President and co-founder of Mister O1 Extraordinary Pizza in Miami Beach since 2014, Umberto Mascagni is a hospitality operator whose work sits at the point where ownership, oversight, and day-to-day management meet. The career is built across parallel responsibilities in hospitality, property management, and real estate, with business education in Italy and South Florida feeding the structure behind those roles.
The Climb
Business training at Università di Bologna (2011) and Nova Southeastern University gave shape to a career that would move across hospitality, real estate, and management. That foundation is visible in the way each role adds responsibility without replacing the one before it. Since 2011, Mascagni has served as Property Manager of Virtus Mascagni Inc, establishing the operational side of his work early. In 2014, he became president & Co Founder of Mister O1 Extraordinary Pizza, placing his name on a Miami Beach hospitality brand that became central to his public profile. In 2019, he added Real Estate Associate of AFS Living, extending the same pattern of layered work into another field.
Today
Since 2011, the Property Manager role at Virtus Mascagni Inc has remained a fixed part of Mascagni’s professional work. It reflects a sustained commitment to oversight, organization, and continuity, and it runs alongside his later appointments rather than giving way to them. In 2014, he became president and co-founder of Mister O1 Extraordinary Pizza in Miami Beach, Florida, United States. That title remains the clearest marker of his place in hospitality: a leadership role tied directly to a named venue, and one that carries both operational responsibility and public visibility. Since 2019, he has also worked as a Real Estate Associate at AFS Living. Taken together, the three roles define a career organized around parallel lines of responsibility: property management from 2011, hospitality leadership from 2014, and real estate from 2019.
