Fabrizio Barca

Fabrizio Barca (born 8 March 1954) is an Italian senior civil servant and politician, who served as a state minister without portfolio for territorial cohesion in the Monti government from 2011 to 2013.

[12] The reason for his appointment was his being part of young leading Italian economists in the 1990s and his reputation which he had gained during his tenure at the Bank of Italy.

In addition, Barca was the director of the department of development policies in the Ministry of Economy and Finance until his appointment as minister in 2011.

[1][15] In July 2012, Barca endorsed and launched a new website that was Italy's first national web portal concerning the implementation of investments covering the period of 2007-2013 by regions and state central administrations along with cohesion policy resources.

[4][18] Since 2018, Barca has been coordinator of the Forum Disuguaglianze e Diversità, a civil society organisation aimed at designing public policies and collective actions in order to reduce inequalities and enhance everyone's substantive freedom.
