Across the 22 Italian apps startups tracked here, Lombardia — anchored by Milan — accounts for the largest cluster, with Bending Spoons, Satispay, volvero, Collecto App, and Eat & Joy all based in the region. Piemonte's Turin appears three times, most recently with Toduba closing a $4M Seed round in July 2025. Seed and Series Unknown are the most common labeled stages, each appearing five times, while five additional entries — including Satispay and Commerce Layer — list no stage classification at all.
The dataset spans February 2020 through July 2025, with 2022 producing the highest density of closings: six in a single calendar year, ranging from RoomMate's $700K Seed in Bologna to Enry's Island's $21M Private Equity round in Pescara. Round sizes overall stretch from Recivu's $70K Seed (Florence, January 2024) to Bending Spoons' $110M raise (Milan, August 2023). Four companies — Truesense, DichiaroFacile, Pick-Roll, and Musixmatch — did not disclose their round amounts.
