    416: Casco Viejo: Panama’s Greatest Success Story – Simone Di Giovanni

    01/07/2026 | 1h 3 mins.
    Casco Viejo in Panama City wasn't always the vibrant, world-class destination it is today. Just a few decades ago, much of the historic district had been left to decay and certainly not a place you’d visit if you were in the country. Today, it stands as one of Latin America's greatest urban revival stories.

    In today's episode, I sit down with my good friend and Panama developer Simone Di Giovanni to discuss Casco Viejo's remarkable transformation and what makes Panama such a compelling place to live and invest. Enjoy!


    IN TODAY’S EPISODE

    Tune in as Simone shares why he left his native Italy and ultimately chose Panama over Miami as his new home abroad
    Listen in as we discuss the remarkable transformation of Casco Viejo from a neglected historic district into one of Panama's most visited destinations
    Learn why Plaza Santa Ana is becoming the next chapter in Casco Viejo's revival and why it continues to attract investors
    Hear why all the pieces have come together to make Casco Viejo one of Latin America's greatest urban revival stories
