Roberto Enrico Wirth (25 May 1950 – 5 June 2022) was the owner and managing director of the Hotel Hassler, a five-star hotel located at the top of the Spanish Steps in Rome, Italy. Roberto E. Wirth represented the fifth generation of Swiss hoteliers.[1] His parents Oscar Wirth and Carmen Bucher Wirth were both descendants of two families of hoteliers: the Bucher family from the Luzern area in Switzerland and the Wirth family from Maulach, Germany.[2]

Wirth was born profoundly deaf. He was the founder and the President of Assistance Center for Deaf and Deafblind Children / Centro Assistenza per Bambini Sordi e Sordociechi Onlus (CABSS), a non-profit association dedicated to supporting deaf and deafblind children and their families. He had two children, twins Robertino and Veruschka.[3]

Among the family properties, Roberto Wirth also owned the luxury resort Borgo Bastia Creti in Umbria, Italy[4] and the ancient luxury residence dating back to the second half of the 18th century, Parco del Principe in Tuscany.[5] Since 2018, he owned Hotel Vannucci in Città della Pieve, Umbria[6]
