No Retirement Permit Either
Answer
The general rule applies to you
No exception is recorded for citizens of Venezuela on this topic. That is the answer, not a gap - everything below is the rule you get, unchanged.
98 exceptions recorded across 37 countries · none match Venezuela to Italy · Residency as a retiree
Nothing in the immigration Act is addressed to retired people. The Act's permits are built around an activity, and retirement is not one. A pensioner uses the same elective residence route as anyone living on their own money, and that route is in the visa decree rather than in the statute.
At a glance
- A retirement-specific permit
- None in the Act
- What is used instead
- The elective residence visa, from the visa decree
- Age
- Not a condition anywhere in the Act's permits
What applies to you
Nothing changes for a citizen of Venezuela
We have no rule recorded that treats your citizenship differently here, so the general rule above is the one that applies to you. That is an answer, not a gap.
What the law says
«L'ingresso e il soggiorno per periodi superiori a tre mesi sono consentiti, al di fuori delle quote di cui all'articolo 3, comma 4, agli stranieri che intendono effettuare , in nome proprio o per conto della persona giuridica che legalmente rappresentano: a) un investimento di almeno euro 2.000.000 in titoli emessi dal Governo italiano e che vengano mantenuti per almeno due anni; c) una donazione a carattere filantropico di almeno euro 1.000.000 a sostegno di un progetto di pubblico interesse, nei settori della cultura, istruzione, gestione dell'immigrazione, ricerca scientifica, recupero di beni culturali e paesaggistici e che: 1) dimostrano di essere titolari e beneficiari effettivi di un importo almeno pari a euro 2.000.000, nel caso di cui alla lettera a), o euro 1.000.000, nei casi di cui alla lettera b) e alla presente lettera, importo che deve essere in ciascun caso disponibile e trasferibile in Italia;»Quoted for the same reason as on the income record: it is the only money route the statute itself creates, and it is not this one.

Standing: Maintains the text in force
Cannot be cited for: It gives the text and not its interpretation. Article 3-bis reads clearly and has still generated years of litigation over what it means, which is why the Constitutional Court is watched alongside it. A consolidated text can also lag a very recent amendment.

Practical notes
The whole answer is on the income record.
How an Italian pension or a foreign one is taxed is decided by the tax code and the treaty with the paying country, neither read here.
