Metrika

Chief Executive Officer Marco Giuseppini and Managing Partner Nicola Pietralunga lead the firm. Giuseppini, a former 21 Investimenti and Mandarin Capital Partners dealmaker, founded Metrika in 2019. Pietralunga previously ran the private equity area at Quadrivio Capital SGR. Investment Director Gabriele Giustino joined in November 2021 after working at Argos Wityu and Bravo Capital Partners.

Metrika targets majority stakes in Italian industrial SMEs where succession, international expansion, or operational modernization can unlock value. Portfolio companies range from a heat treatment specialist founded in 1947 (Proterm) to a cybersecurity managed services provider (QiNet, exited) and a dental implant manufacturer (Agliati). Deal sizes are undisclosed but concentrated in the mid-market.

Metrika's visible track record is entirely direct majority and minority buyouts. The firm also operates a secondaries strategy that captures market asymmetries, but the specific structure — fund commitments, LP interest purchases, or GP-led transactions — has not been publicly detailed.

The firm leverages its principals' deep Italian network — Giuseppini and Pietralunga collectively have decades of mid-market M&A relationships from prior platforms including 21 Investimenti, Mandarin Capital, and Quadrivio. Their positioning emphasizes succession-driven family-owned companies, a pipeline that relies on trusted local advisory and tax relationships rather than auction processes.
