Graduated in law with a focus on legal economics, I worked as an area manager at two leading Italian banking groups. After my resignation, in 2009 I joined the Association in defence of consumers and users “Casa del Consumatore”, dealing with institutional relations with the banking industry at a national level. Since 2014, I have been a member of the national management of the Casa del Consumatore as well as serving, for the same association, as the regional president of Piedmont. For about 10 years, I have been a consultant in banking and insurance issues for Rai, participating as an expert in numerous television programmes such as “Mi Manda Rai Tre”, “Uno Mattina”, “Agorà”, “Italia Si”. I collaborate, through the drafting of articles on financial issues, with the Consumer Blog of the TG Com 24 news outlet. I was a member, with the National Council of Consumers and Users (CNCU), before the Consultation Council of the “Patti Chiari” banking consortium and since 2014, I have been part of the Independent Observatory set up at the ABI which managed the site www.comparaconti.it. It is an online comparison engine that made complete, updated and comparable information available on current accounts offered by banks to consumers.
Since 2019, I have been representing the Consumer Associations at the ABI table on energy requalifications, in which both institutional representatives and representatives of the industry in the sector participate. In the same year, I was appointed as representative of the Consumer Associations within the ABI - ASSOFIN Observatory which is responsible for analysing the issue of ancillary policies to loans, detecting the results of investigations on complaints or appeals, sharing and proposing any initiatives to increasingly improve customer information by optimising the levels of efficiency and transparency of the insurance policy market. In 2020, I was a member of the consultation committee of the Foundation for Financial Education and Savings (FEDUF) constituted within the ABI. Starting in that same year, I have been participating in the Observatory on Over-indebtedness and Usury constituted by the Regional Council of Piedmont. I chair the Social Inclusion Agency (EINS) which, through its social secretariats, has been recognised by the Ministry of Justice as the Body for the Settlement of the Over-indebtedness Crisis.
My participation in the EDUFIN committee represents an opportunity to bring the experience of consumer associations, of which I am an expression, to the dissemination in Italy of financial literacy for a conscious use of money when choices are made in the financial, insurance and social security sectors.
