  • 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.

Ariete Value

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.

Ariete Tech Solutions

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 helping mid-market and enterprise clients across Europe adopt AI safely and within the boundaries the EU AI Act now imposes.

The company delivers five service lines built around AI adoption and compliance: corporate AI education and literacy training, adoption and implementation advisory, AI governance and risk-classification frameworks, architecture advisory for organisations building AI capability in-house, and proprietary subscription software developed in-house and sold to market.

The model is proven:

  • Recurring revenue: paying clients on fixed monthly retainers, plus project-based engagements delivered and closed
  • Regulatory tailwind: demand driven by AI Act obligations on literacy, governance and documentation
  • Proprietary tools: subscription software developed in-house and sold as a scalable product line
  • Disciplined capital use: a Lombard facility funds capex and opex without liquidating the underlying securities portfolio

Investors receive equity in a growing AI advisory and software business at the intersection of enterprise AI adoption and regulatory compliance. 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 HNWI with a long-term perspective, focused on preserving capital while securing Italian residency through a transparent, institutionally governed structure.
