Italy Golden Visa Family Planning: A Legacy That Lives Across Borders

For families planning with the next generation in mind, Italy’s Golden Visa offers more than just a residency permit. It’s a way to create meaningful access to opportunity, stability, and a European way of life.

This isn’t just about paperwork. It’s about giving your children and loved ones the chance to live, study, and grow in a country rooted in history, culture, and continuity, without needing to change everything about how you live today.

Under Italy’s investor visa framework, a single qualifying investment enables not just the principal applicant, but also their spouse, minor children, and dependent adult children or parents to apply for residency. There are no additional investment thresholds. No need to restructure the family portfolio.

That means one well-structured investment can unlock:

  • EU healthcare and education for your children

  • A stable, Schengen-wide foothold for elderly parents

  • A pathway to citizenship for future generations who choose to reside

It’s important to understand what this really entails. While full-time relocation isn’t mandatory for the initial residency permit, a consistent presence in Italy is required to qualify for permanent residency or citizenship. And while citizenship can extend to future generations, it’s subject to Italian law at the time of birth.

Still, Italy’s policy remains one of the more inclusive and family-aligned in Europe. Immediate family members are eligible with proof of relationship or dependency, and the requirements, including income and accommodation, are attainable for most families already considering investment-level capital deployment.

Ariete Capital’s structure was built with this in mind. Our investment company qualifies as a regulated pathway under Italy’s investor visa. But more importantly, it provides real ownership in Italian public equities, cultural assets, and selected alternatives, a portfolio that can hold meaning across generations.

And for many families, the residency is just the beginning. Children who choose to study or work in Italy can apply for permanent residency after five years and for citizenship after ten, provided they meet integration requirements. That citizenship, once granted, may be passed on to future generations born abroad, depending on Italian nationality law.

This is a long-term foundation, one that creates continuity and resilience for families thinking decades ahead.

In a time when mobility, identity, and jurisdictional safety matter more than ever, that foundation can become part of the family story.

Do you qualify?

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.

Innovative Startup

Ariete Tech Solutions, the technology division of Ariete Capital, offers a Golden Visa–eligible investment through a €250,000 position in a certified innovative startup revolutionizing the valuation of alternative assets.

The company’s AI-powered platform delivers instant, data-driven pricing and predictive analytics for illiquid assets such as classic and supercars, fine art, luxury watches, yachts, wines, and private credit. It operates in a multi-trillion-euro market where accurate valuations are in high demand.

The model is proven:

  • Hybrid tech + asset strategy for diversified growth
  • SaaS with scalable, high-margin recurring revenue
  • Proprietary AI with unmatched valuation accuracy
  • Direct investments in appreciating tangible assets
  • Multi-stream income from software licensing, transaction fees, rentals, and asset sales

Investors receive equity in a high-growth AI venture uniquely positioned at the intersection of FinTech, alternative investments, and digital transformation. The structure is professionally managed and fully compliant, with clear liquidity pathways through strategic exits or public offering.

This is a residency-eligible investment designed for those seeking early-stage upside alongside the lifestyle and mobility benefits of Italian residency.
