History

change

An organization dealing with postal services in Italy was founded in 1862.[1] This was a consequence of the postal reform. In 1996, Poste Italiane became a state-owned business (Società per Azioni).[2] In February 1998, the Ministry of the Treasury appointed Corrado Passera, as the CEO of the newly formed Poste Italiane.[3] In 2011, Poste Italiane acquired UniCredit MedioCredito Centrale.[4] In 2014, the Italian government approved the sale of 40% of the company's shares. In 2016, another 35% of shares were transferred from the ministry to Cassa Depositi e Prestiti.[5]
