Al Volo and Retrobottega’s “Matteo Catalani tragically passed away on Sunday. He was 29.”

Incredibly sad news from the Al Volo team:

“We’ve suffered a massive loss over the weekend. One of Al Volo‘s founding members– the youngest one– Matteo Catalani tragically passed away on Sunday. He was 29. We are all shocked and devastated by the news. Matteo was such a special soul and meant so much to so many people. While he began his journey at Al Volo, Matteo’s true passion was realized when he opened Retrobottega (2435 18th St NW) with Rolando Frias in 2019. Retrobottega is his spirit, and for that reason we are having a get- together for Matteo’s friends and colleagues on Wednesday from 5pm until midnight to commemorate his incredible life and legacy.

To say that he will be missed is an understatement. For the people who knew and loved Matteo, life can never be the same again. If you would like to send this message out to let people know, we would really appreciate it.”

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
