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.
