February 2, 2026 – ArteOlio continues to grow: €3-million capital increase to purchase and develop 110 hectares in Tuscany, 100% organic

ArteOlio, an agricultural company and benefit corporation producing superior-quality extra virgin olive oil in Tuscany, has completed a €3-million capital increase to support the financing of the acquisition and development of additional 110 hectares, fully organic, of modern and sustainable olive groves in the Maremma area of Tuscany.

The expansion of the project is also partially financed through non-repayable grants and subsidised credit obtained under the Contratto di Filiera (Supply Chain Contract) of the Ministry of Agriculture. ArteOlio’s total financial resources thus rise to over €45 million, including bank financing provided by major national and local institutions: Banco BPM, Intesa Sanpaolo, BPER Banca, Banca Tema, ICCREA Banca and ChiantiBanca.

The overall size of the project has now reached 800 hectares, with an expected steady-state production of over 1.2 million litres.

Agricultural company and benefit corporation ArteOlio was founded by Riccardo Schiatti and Augusto Lippi with the aim of producing 100% Italian superior-quality extra virgin olive oil in the heart of the Tuscan Maremma. Headquartered in Grosseto, ArteOlio has been operating since October 2019 and is controlled by Milan-based private equity holding company VERTEQ Capital, led by Ennio Valerio Boccardi.

Thanks to a very short and fully controlled supply chain, and to a state-of-the-art olive mill using highly technological, innovative and sustainable production methods, ArteOlio offers an exclusive product that is fully traceable and distinguished by outstanding organoleptic properties.
