On the 18th of January 2008 the Board of Directors of the Fondazione Giovanni Agnelli, chaired by Countess Maria Sole Agnelli Teodorani Fabbri, has appointed Dr. Andrea Gavosto as Director of the Fondazione as of 1 February 2008.
An Economist, after a degree in Economics from the University of Turin and a specialization in Economics at the London School of Economics, Andrea Gavosto worked for the Research Centres of Banca d’Italia, Fiat and Confindustria, and has been Chief Economist of Telecom Italia from 2002 to 2007.
