Vincenzo Azzolini
Vincenzo Azzolini was the governor of the Banca d'Italia during World War II, known for his pivotal role in the controversial transfer of Italy's gold reserves. Under his stewardship, 127 tons of gold were relocated to a hidden gallery in the Alto Adige region in 1943, intended for protection from Allied forces. Azzolini's decisions during this tumultuous period reflected the complex political and military dynamics of Italy under Mussolini and in the wake of German occupation.
