Florence, the capital of Tuscany, is among the areas of operation of our corporate and private investigation agency — whether it concerns proof of marital infidelity, child abduction or custody disputes on the one hand, or brand piracy, unfair competition, and employee-related offences on the other. We would be happy to assist you as well: +49 711 7153 0028.
Florence (Firenze) is home to 364,073 inhabitants over an area of 102 km², while nearly one million people live in its metropolitan region (2024). The city, with its many historic buildings, lies between the ridges of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines and the Chianti hills along the Arno River. In 1982, its historic centre was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site for hosting what has been called the “world’s greatest concentration of universally recognised artworks.”
Not only for locals but especially for clients from abroad, our Chamber of Industry and Commerce-certified private investigators in Florence handle cases of infidelity. Often, it is holidaymakers or business travellers whose partners seek reassurance about their fidelity. We also investigate for private individuals or their lawyers in maintenance disputes — for example, when an ex-partner claims to have little or no income while enjoying a luxurious lifestyle in Tuscany. Moreover, we assist clients who are unsure whether an ex-partner is meeting their parental responsibilities during a vacation with their child. Beyond that, we operate throughout Tuscany, across Italy, and internationally in cases of child abduction, missing persons, absconding debtors, and much more. Our private detective agency in Florence stands for qualified, discreet investigative methods. We are happy to provide a non-binding consultation. Use our contact form or call us directly.
Once a Roman military colony (Colonia) under Julius Caesar, Florence grew into one of Europe’s wealthiest cities in the 15th and 16th centuries through trade and finance. The Medici family played a central role in the city’s rise to prominence, intertwining their power with the success of the Florentine Republic. Today, the economy of Florence is dominated by the service sector, particularly tourism. With its artistic and architectural heritage, the city attracts millions of visitors each year — in summer months, often outnumbering its residents. With nearly 4.2 million guests in 2014, Florence ranked among the world’s 40 most-visited cities. Our experienced corporate investigators in Florence speak the local language fluently and possess in-depth local knowledge through prior professional and personal stays. They move inconspicuously within the city and its surroundings, adapting their cover stories flexibly to suit the specific investigative context.
The city also has a vibrant industrial and artisanal sector rooted in its traditions — fashion, textiles, and jewellery. The headquarters of the fashion house Gucci is located in Florence, while other major Italian labels such as Prada, Ferragamo, Pucci, and Roberto Cavalli maintain significant branches in and around the city. In the manufacturing sector — particularly where well-known brands are concerned — cases of counterfeiting and brand piracy are widespread. Local companies also face offences such as corporate espionage, theft, embezzlement, or illicit secondary employment. Our well-established corporate investigation agency for Florence conducts discreet investigations locally and across borders for affected businesses from both Italy and abroad.
