Antonio Fazio (born 11 October 1936) is an Italian banker. He was the Governor of Banca d'Italia from 1993 until his resignation in 2005.
In May 2011, an Italian court sentenced him four years in jail for market-rigging related to a 2005 takeover battle over Italian bank Banca Antonveneta. A Milan court has also ordered Fazio to pay a 1.5 million euro ($2.14 million) fine for his role in forcing Dutch Bank ABN AMRO to go against Italy's Banca Popolare Italiana (BPI).[1]
