Italy Golden Visa Investments: Ariete Capital & Tech Solutions

Ariete Capital and Ariete Tech Solutions

Exploring our dual offering: classic Italian investments and innovative technology solutions, both eligible for the Italy Golden Visa.

Ariete offers two distinct but complementary products. Both are built with transparency, governance, and a long-term perspective, and both qualify for the Italy Golden Visa program. One focuses on the timeless value of Italy’s industrial and cultural champions. The other is a forward-looking technology venture reshaping how alternative assets are valued.

Ariete Capital: The Value of Italian Classics

A Portfolio Rooted in Legacy

Ariete Capital curates a portfolio of established Italian companies that have shaped the country’s economy for decades. These are businesses producing tangible goods with global demand, holding significant market share, and pursuing clear growth plans. Italy’s economy is often summarized by the “Three F’s”: fashion, food, and furniture. Ariete’s portfolio reflects this heritage while also spanning automotive, luxury goods, consumer goods, and fitness.

Investment Strategy

The Ariete portfolio blends:

  • 70% in Italian equities from leading listed companies such as Ferrari, Brembo, Moncler, Brunello Cucinelli, De’Longhi, Technogym, Sanlorenzo, Pirelli, and others.

  • 20% in alternatives through CBH Bank, a Swiss private bank with €17B+ under management. These alternatives include structured products, commodities, infrastructure, and other non-correlated assets.

  • 10% in cash and equivalents to preserve liquidity.

This allocation balances capital preservation with long-term growth. Back-testing from 2014–2024 shows an average annual return of 12%. A €500,000 investment evenly spread across the portfolio ten years ago would today exceed €1.5 million.

Efficiency, Governance, and Benefits

The fund structure is transparent, audited bi-annually, and built for resilience. Investors also gain practical benefits in Italy: access to leading hotels and experiences, introductions to advisors in tax, law, and real estate, and exclusive rights to syndication deals as they arise.

Most importantly, Ariete Capital’s fund is fully eligible for the Italy Golden Visa program, offering residency and the possibility of citizenship after ten years alongside a strong investment portfolio. For further information on program requirements, see Who Can Apply for the Italy Golden Visa?.

Ariete Tech Solutions: The Future of Asset Valuation

Mission and Innovation

Ariete Tech Solutions is an Italian technology startup applying artificial intelligence to the valuation of alternative assets. Markets for classic cars, yachts, luxury watches, fine wines, art, and other collectibles have long been opaque and illiquid. Ariete Tech replaces subjective appraisals with data-driven precision, analyzing millions of data points to deliver accurate, real-time valuations.

Products and Services

  • AI-Powered Valuation Platform: instantly calculates precise values for illiquid assets.

  • Predictive Analytics: forecasts appreciation and risk, helping investors decide when to buy, hold, or sell.

  • Value-Added Services: tools for banks and family offices to underwrite loans, advise clients, and facilitate trades with confidence.

Hybrid Business Model

Ariete Tech combines a SaaS platform with direct alternative asset ownership. Revenues come from licensing software to financial institutions, charging transaction fees for valuations, and generating rental income and capital gains from owned assets. This hybrid model diversifies growth: scalable software on one side, stable tangible assets on the other.

Competitive Edge

  • Proprietary AI algorithms for unmatched accuracy.

  • Predictive intelligence that anticipates market movements.

  • Unique positioning at the intersection of fintech and alternative investments.

  • Official registration as an innovative startup in Italy, with all intellectual property protections in place.

Golden Visa Eligibility

As a certified innovative startup, Ariete Tech Solutions is eligible for the Italy Golden Visa under the €250,000 minimum startup route. This provides investors with equity in a high-growth AI company while also securing Italian residency for themselves and their families.

Two Paths, One Philosophy

Both Ariete Capital and Ariete Tech Solutions align with the same principles: transparency, governance, and long-term thinking. They offer different risk-return profiles — one rooted in Italy’s industrial heritage, the other in technological innovation — but both provide the additional benefit of access to the Italy Golden Visa.

For investors, these products offer more than financial returns. They represent an entry point into Italy’s economy, culture, and lifestyle, with a pathway to European residency for families seeking stability and legacy.

The Italian Golden Visa: Your Gateway to Europe

Italy’s Golden Visa isn’t just a permit—it’s the most elegant way to secure EU residency and safeguard your wealth.

  • Residency in Italy with full EU mobility

  • Valid for the whole family (spouse & dependents)

  • No minimum stay requirement

  • Strong legal framework, backed by the Italian government

  • Lifestyle benefits: healthcare, education, cultural heritage

Government Bonds

Ariete Capital enables applicants to obtain a Golden Visa through a €2,000,000 investment in Italian government bonds, one of the safest and most conservative options available.

The capital is allocated to BTPs or equivalent long-term instruments issued by the Italian Republic, with a maturity of at least 2 years, and held throughout the duration of the residence permit.

This path offers:

  • State-backed security, with minimal risk of capital loss

  • Passive income via interest payments

  • A clear, predictable structure requiring no active management

It’s particularly suited for:

  • Investors with low risk tolerance

  • Individuals focused on capital preservation

  • Applicants seeking the most institutionally stable route

While returns are modest, this route ensures legal residency through a structure aligned with sovereign financial instruments and minimal exposure to market volatility.

Philanthropic Donation

Ariete Capital provides access to a Golden Visa-eligible path through a €1,000,000 philanthropic donation to Italian public-interest initiatives, in line with national priorities.

These contributions are made to officially recognized organizations operating in sectors such as education, culture, scientific research, and immigration support — initiatives that enrich Italy’s long-term development and social impact.

While this investment path does not provide financial return, it offers the most streamlined, low-effort route to residency, without the complexity of managing assets or holding capital at risk.

This route is ideal for:

  • High-net-worth individuals looking to combine mobility and legacy

  • Families or trusts with charitable mandates

  • Applicants who value simplicity and social contribution over financial gain

This is a donation-based investment, best suited for those seeking to align their residency goals with long-term values and public good.

Italian Shares

Ariete Capital offers a distinctive investment pathway that combines European residency with ownership in some of Italy’s most iconic companies.

Through a minimum investment of €500,000, investors acquire Class B Units in a KPMG-audited Italian entity that allocates capital across a curated portfolio of market leaders including Ferrari, Moncler, Brunello Cucinelli, Campari, and Technogym.

The strategy is deliberately structured:

  • ​70% in Italian public equities
  • 20% in alternatives

  • 10% in cash equivalents
     

This diversified allocation targets a net IRR of 9%, balancing capital preservation with growth.

Ariete provides both a legitimate pathway to Italian residency and meaningful exposure to Italy’s luxury, lifestyle, and industrial champions, making it an ideal solution for investors seeking both European access and long-term capital growth rooted in Italian excellence.
