We are Ariete Capital: your fast track to Italy and Europe
We design and manage top-notch investment solutions for HNWIs and Golden Visa Investors.
In recent months, the European landscape for investor visas has shifted dramatically.
As of April 3, 2025, Spain has officially closed its Golden Visa program.
Meanwhile, Greece has made its program significantly more restrictive and costly.
In this context, Italy stands out as one of the last major gateways to Europe through a strategic, fast, and sustainable investment path.
The Italian Golden Visa is designed for non-EU individuals who wish to live, invest, and thrive in Italy.
Unlike other programs, it offers a straightforward process, no language requirements, and a flexible residency model.
By investing in the country’s future, you gain access to its unique lifestyle, robust economy, and the full benefits of European residence.
To apply for the Italian Golden Visa, you must select one eligible investment route.

You only invest after the visa is approved—your money stays protected until you’re approved. And so far, we’ve had zero rejections for clients who follow our full process.

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:
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
