Italy's
Publicly-Backed LPs
as of 2026The public LP ecosystem is influential, unstructured and difficult to navigate. This edition continues the series, mapping the state, regional and statutory institutions behind Italian venture.
* Figures cover Italy-headquartered funds that have received public-LP backing, from any LP in this report.
This guide maps the public and statutory institutions that invest as limited partners in Italian venture — the national anchor at CDP Venture Capital, the regional finance companies that back funds in their own territory, and the Casse di previdenza that hold the country's largest institutional allocations. It is written for GPs who are raising, or planning to raise, from Italian capital.
