The Arcaini Web This website provides useful information about Italy and its rich history. I am also periodically adding general information related to my family, general historic events, and business related information. My original website crashed thanks to an update by the web design platform I used to build my original arcaini.com site in the mid 1990s, which now is arcaini.net. This first "All About Italy" segment is complete, however, I will expand with additional information as time allows. The information contained in this first (Italy) section is based on extensive research of literature, references, published articles and on-line image libraries. Specific information and images are referenced on a case by case basis under "Source" and "Credits". If you have any (constructive) comment(s) regarding corrections or additions to any of the content, please email me your suggestions.

About this Website This website provides useful information about Italy and its rich history. I am also periodically adding general information related to my family, general historic events, and business related information. My original website crashed thanks to an update by the web design platform I used when I first built the site in the late 1990s. I have re-built and updated my original arcaini.com site, which now is arcaini.net . According to plan, the arcaini.com site will automatically be re-directed to this arcaini.net site. Please let me know if you are experiening ay issue with visiting or navigating the site. About Me I was born in Milan, Italy (let’s say, long time ago), to my mother "Marianne (Mädy)", originally from Munich, Bavaria, Germany, and my father, Prof. Ferruccio Arcaini, a true Milanese Italian. I completed my early education at a Jesuit Boarding school in Austria and attended high school in Germany. I graduated from a state business school in Frankfurt, Germany. ​ Prior to immigrating to the United States in 1983, I spent over 10 years in various executive capacities in Germany, Spain, Switzerland, and The Netherlands, where I joined Robex International Recreatie Groep (Resort Development Group) as Executive Vice President. Robex was the largest European multi-national resort development company at the time, with headquarters in Amsterdam the Netherlands, and subsidiaries in 9 countries. The company was a joint venture of three publicly traded companies, who appointed me to the position of Chief Executive Officer in 1981. I eventually acquired the company in a leveraged buyout, and subsequently led the expansion of the company’s operations to the United States. I immigrated to the US with my family in 1983 (the best decision I have ever made), where I took residence in Jacksonville, Florida (another luckily great choice). ​ I have been Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, and President of multiple companies, both domestic and overseas since 1981. I retired in September of 2020 from my position as Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Duos Technologies Group, Inc., and its operating subsidiary Duos Technologies, Inc., a high-tech solutions provider with focus on the security and transportation industries. Earlier that year, my capable team and I completed the company's uplisting to NASDAQ, a national public exchange (NASDAQ: DUOT). ​ During my tenure at Duos, I have been the primary inventor of eleven (11) technology patents and a myriad of non-patented technology solutions currently being commercialized in various applications. ​ When Katheryne Chappell Drennon, the owner of Chappell Early Learning Centers, and one of my closest friends, passed away in 2015, I followed her wish to join the board of Trustees of her Family trust, who is the owner of Chappell Schools. After some reorganization I also joined the Board of Directors of Chappell Schools, LLC, who's Chairman I remain today. ​ I see myself as a visionary with a deep understanding of the realities of building and growing companies with ties to both sides of the ocean. I function best and am most effective when faced with complex challenges. ​ I am fluent in German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish and English and conversational in French, so feel free to write your emails in any of these languages.
