Enrico Cuccia

Enrico Cuccia (24 November 1907 – 23 June 2000) was an Italian banker, who was the first and long-term president of Mediobanca SpA, the Milan-based investment bank, and a significant figure in the history of capitalism in Italy.

[16][17] In addition to these much more visible activities, he "was the principal dealmaker (and breaker) in the secretive world of large private Italian capitalism.

[16] After a private funeral ceremony on 24 June, he was buried in the family graveyard in his villa in Meina, a village beside Lake Maggiore.

[25] The corpse was found on a mountainside near Turin, and two men arrested in relation to the incident at the end of March.

[26] The square where the head offices of Mediobanca are located in Milan was named after Enrico Cuccia in September 2000.

[10] According to the Italian historian of Freemasonry Aldo Alessandro Mola, Cuccia was initiated to the highest degree of the Gran Loggia d'Italia.

[30] Given that Cuccia was the son-in-law of Alberto Beneduce, a Master Mason, since 1906[31] and the Primo Gran Sorvegliante of the Grand Orient of Italy during the presidency of Ernesto Nathan this view becomes more reliable.
