Training for professionals and the establishment of an economic foundation: Corrado Santini After receiving his Bachelor of Economics degree from the prestigious Università degli Studi di Parma and completing his Master of Business Administration degree from the Insead School of Business in Fontainebleau, Corrado Santini, a chartered accountant and auditor, began his career in the world of financial investments. It was at Cie (forfaiting house) that he started his professional career. He remained there for a period of three years. In 1998, he was given the responsibility of leading the project finance activities of Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria for Italy. During the nine years that he worked with the company, Corrado Santini had the opportunity to gain experience and manage operations in a variety of fields, particularly in the areas of transportation infrastructure, hospitals, and real estate. During those years, he was able to acquire a wide variety of skills in the infrastructure sector, which served as a preparation for his entry into the F2i – Fondi Italiani per le Infrastrutture in 2007 as a Senior Partner. Financial investments in infrastructure and acquisitions of F2i firms The abbreviation F2i SGR S.p.A., which stands for Fondi Italiani per le Infrastrutture, was established in 2007 and is now being managed by Vito Gamberale. The Bank of Italy has registered the company under the number 247. It was in August of the same year that the first fund was established with the purpose of facilitating investments in the infrastructure sector. The fund ultimately accumulated a total of 1,852 million euros in contributions. Major purchases were made with the profits, including large shares in Infracis (highway), Mediterranea delle Acque (water), Gesac and SEA (airport), and Metroweb. These acquisitions were made in a variety of diverse industries (telecommunications). The creation of a new fund that was established in 2012 and continues to be active today promoted investment in other sectors, such as Waste-to-Energy (the purchase of eighty percent of TRM), as well as other consolidations (new share of SEA – Aeroporti di Milano S.p.A.).
