Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa built a career in business at a period when the rules of commerce were themselves changing.
The record lists Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa as Italian banker and economist (1940-2010).
Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa was born at Belluno in 1940. His recorded nationality is Italy. He was educated at Bocconi University.
Post-war business was mass-market and increasingly multinational, managed by professionals rather than owners.
He worked as economist, politician and banker.
Enterprises outlive their founders or they do not, and that is the whole test.
Recognition followed: Knight Grand Cross of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic.
That the business was built from Italy shaped it: capital, regulation and market size differ by country, and they decide what is even attemptable.
Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa died in 2010, aged 70. What remains is the enterprise and its consequences, which is the only durable measure of a commercial life.
