Arius is pleased to announce the appointment of Marco Antonio Soriano as CEO of Arius Technology Europa Italia Srl, the company’s newly established European sister organization headquartered in Milan. This strategic expansion marks a significant step in Arius’ global mission to support the preservation, conservation, and protection of cultural heritage through advanced art data capture technology.

Building on more than a decade of innovation developed in Vancouver, Arius’ European base will serve as a central hub for collaboration with European museums, cultural institutions, collectors, and research partners. As CEO of Arius Technology Europa Italia Srl, Soriano is bridging the gap between Vancouver’s technical innovation and Italy’s unparalleled cultural heritage. 

Under Soriano’s leadership, Milan becomes the strategic hub for this technology, and Italy is no longer just the custodian of the past but the architect of the future. By strengthening Arius’ presence in one of the world’s most culturally significant regions, Soriano will ensure that heritage, lifestyle, and culture are preserved against the threats of time, climate, and illicit trafficking.

"The technology provided by Arius represents a paradigm shift in how we understand the physical reality of a painting." says Stephen Gritt, Advisor and world-renowned Conservator. 

"It allows us to record a work of art with such profound fidelity that the data itself becomes a permanent safeguard for the original."

This exciting establishment of Arius’ European entity reflects our commitment to making precise, non-invasive documentation technologies accessible wherever cultural heritage requires protection, whether in major institutions or regional collections.
