Trinità dei Monti (TdM) is an independent and nonprofit think tank based in Rome, Italy. It was de facto founded by Pierluigi Testa in February 2012. The group is composed of more than 400 members (50 of whom are founding members).

Trinità dei Monti is a discussion group which meets at the foot of the Spanish Steps in Rome with a view to gaining further insight into topical issues regarding economics, financial markets, banking as well as Italian politics and European politics. There is an active participation of expert speakers from public authorities, the banking world, enterprises and universities.[1][2]

History[]

Pierluigi Testa, the founder, before a meeting

Since February 2012 Trinità dei Monti has organized a series of institutional meetings with a general view to promoting positive economic, business, banking and financial culture as well as fostering such culture in the course of time in order to instil confidence in the public bodies and to create a large pool of skills for the current and future establishment.[3][4]

In 2018, TdM expanded, and it opened a new satellite centre in Naples.[5] In 2019, the think tank organised an event with the Swiss Embassy to Rome, to talk about economic and cultural relations between Switzerland and Southern Italy.[6]
