The agency behind every piece of evidence.
Arcadia Company is an independent investigation agency, licensed by the Prefecture and ISO 9001:2015 certified. Since 2017 we have turned our clients' suspicions into documentary evidence that is legally sound and admissible in court.
Who is Arcadia Company.
Arcadia Company S.r.l. is an independent investigation agency based in Sesto San Giovanni, on the edge of Milan. Since 2017 we have worked alongside private individuals, families, law firms and companies who need one thing above all: solid evidence, gathered lawfully and able to withstand a judge's scrutiny. We do not sell suspicions or impressions — we deliver evidentiary documentation, built to hold up against challenge.
A licensed agency, not an improvised one
Private investigation in Italy is a regulated profession. Arcadia Company operates under the prefectural licence required by art. 134 of the Consolidated Public Security Act (R.D. 773/1931) — registration MIN. INTERNO no. MI-14120/12B15E — and in full compliance with Ministerial Decree no. 269 of 1 December 2010, which governs the requirements, operating methods and limits of licensed investigation agencies. Choosing a licensed agency is not a formality: it is the only way to obtain usable evidence. Do-it-yourself activity, or work carried out by unlicensed parties, produces material that is often inadmissible in court and may constitute a criminal offence for whoever commissions it.
Certified quality and data protection
Our management system is certified to the ISO 9001:2015 standard, guaranteeing traceable, repeatable and verifiable processes. Every assignment is handled in compliance with EU Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR) and the Italian Privacy Code: for each case we weigh the legitimate interest of the client against the protection of the people involved, following the criteria of the Data Protection Authority and the case law of the Court of Cassation on defensive monitoring. We are also a member of FEDERPOL, the Italian Federation of Investigation, Information and Security Institutes.
A method before a service
What sets Arcadia Company apart is not the individual tool, but the discipline with which we use it. Every investigation follows the same four-phase operating protocol, with a documented chain of custody and independent double-checking of the evidence. That is why we treat every collection of evidence as if it were bound for the courtroom, whatever final use the client has in mind. You can learn more about our approach on the page dedicated to our investigative method and review our certifications and authorisations.
The people behind Arcadia Company
An agency is only as good as the people who lead it. At the helm of Arcadia Company is Stefano Povia, Chief Executive Officer, an instructor at the National Shooting Range (TSN) in Milan and the holder of multiple technical, operational and security certifications. His experience combines training expertise with the strategic management of the agency: the same standards of rigour and precision he teaches in the field are those by which we assess every assignment.
The prefectural licence that authorises our investigative work is held by Bruno Roberto Tozzi, whose background was forged in the Carabinieri and the Italian Army. His years of service within the institutions of the State instilled the discipline, method and command of procedure that today form the foundation of our approach. It is the meeting of this institutional security culture with our team's technical expertise that gives Arcadia Company the solidity our clients can rely on.
Our promise: no piece of evidence enters the final dossier unless confirmed by more than one source. Methodological transparency, absolute confidentiality and defensible evidence. The first consultation is always free, confidential and without obligation.
Four values, non-negotiable.
Legality
We operate only within the limits of our prefectural licence and of D.M. 269/2010. Evidence gathered outside the law is not evidence: it is a risk for the client. Regulatory compliance is the starting point, not an optional extra.
Confidentiality
Every assignment is protected by professional secrecy. The client's identity, the details of the case and the results all remain confidential. Discretion is not a marketing promise: it is an operating condition of everything we do.
Rigour
Documented chain of custody, independent double-checking, full traceability from collection to delivery. We treat every piece of evidence as bound for court, because that is where evidence is truly tested.
Transparency
Feasibility, method, timing and costs are agreed in writing before we begin. Evidence that cannot be verified is explicitly classified as a «single source». No surprises, neither during the work nor at trial.
