Spanning three generations, Turnkey Hospitality Group is embedded in Italian heritage since Gene Michelotti emigrated from Lucca, Italy and opened Gene & Georgetti with his partner Alfredo “Georgetti” Federighi, nearly eight decades ago.
Gene’s daughter Marion, and her husband Tony Durpetti now run Turnkey as proprietors. Joining them, serving as Managing Partner is their daughter Michelle Durpetti, who in addition to growing up within the hospitality industry, has cultivated a career as Chicago’s premier wedding and event planner under Michelle Durpetti Events.
Together with a loyal and dedicated staff, they proudly maintain the tradition that has defined their family for decades, all while heralding Turnkey Hospitality Group for decades to come.
The family and staff at Turnkey believe strongly that a successful business withstands the test of time only by consistently and actively giving back to the community in which it thrives. Over the years Turnkey has supported such charitable initiatives as Wish Upon a Wedding, Hephzibah Children’s Association, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the Chicago Hunter Derby/University of Chicago Cancer Research Foundation, Dancing with Chicago Celebrities breast cancer initiatives, Disaster Relief funds and drives, and more.
