Former Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti is celebrating his 82nd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed economists of his generation.
Popular economist-politician Mario Monti has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 82nd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Monti, a cultural icon
Born in Varese on March 19, 1943, Mario Monti's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Italian history. Monti's not just a great economist, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Mario hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Mario Monti as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 82.
Happy Birthday, Mario, you're the best!
