In the heart of eternal Rome, I had the privilege of crafting the narrative for an unforgettable two-day team-building escapade with the dynamic 24-member crew from Xata.ai's Berlin-based campaign. Spanning vibrant sessions of 6-7 hours each, this bespoke storytelling project wove together the timeless allure of the Eternal City with high-energy collaboration, fostering deeper connections and creative sparks among the group.

Day One: Harmony at Châteauform' La Borghesiana Romana
Nestled in the lush outskirts of Rome, our journey began at the elegant Châteauform' La Borghesiana Romana, a haven of refined tranquility. The day unfolded with purposeful strategy meetings that set an inspiring tone, seamlessly transitioning into invigorating sports activities to energize the team. As the sun dipped low, we savored aperitifs under the golden hour glow, punctuated by delightful snack breaks that kept the momentum alive. The evening crescendoed with a lavish Roman-style dinner, where laughter echoed amid plates of authentic pasta, crisp wines, and shared stories—transforming colleagues into confidants.

Day Two: Urban Adventure in Rome's Historic Core
Venturing into the labyrinthine charm of Rome's historic center, the second day ignited with a thrilling treasure hunt across five iconic monuments: from the majestic Colosseum's shadowed arches to the Trevi Fountain's sparkling wishes. Clues and camaraderie propelled the group through sun-dappled piazzas, blending competition with cultural immersion. The quest culminated in a whimsical tour of Rome's famed coffee and gelato havens, where towering scoops of pistachio and velvety espresso shots became metaphors for the team's layered creativity. In a serendipitous finale, a subset of the group retreated to the verdant expanses of Villa Borghese for hands-on drawing sessions, capturing the city's essence on canvas amid blooming gardens and whispered inspirations.Through evocative photography and narrative threads, this project not only documented the Xata.ai team's Roman renaissance but also amplified the magic of collective discovery. A testament to how ancient wonders can fuel modern innovation, these moments linger as a vibrant mosaic of energy, exploration, and unbreakable bonds.
