Secretary of the Council of Ministers of Italy

The Secretary of the Council of Ministers (Italian: Segretario del Consiglio dei Ministri) is a senior member of the Italian Cabinet.

Secretary of the Council of Ministers
Incumbent
Riccardo Fraccaro
since 5 September 2019
Council of Ministers
AppointerPresident of the Republic
Inaugural holderPaolo Cappa

The Secretary is chosen between one of the Undersecretaries of State to the Presidency of the Council of Ministers and, unlike them, he sits in the Cabinet and helps the Prime Minister in coordinating the government and its meetings. Thus, the Secretary is usually a person very close to the Prime Minister. The Secretary of the Council, which may not be confused with the largely ceremonial office of Deputy Prime Minister (not all Italian Cabinets include one), resembles that of the White House Chief of Staff.

The current Secretary of the Council is Riccardo Fraccaro, a member of Five Star Movement, appointed on 5 September 2019 in the government led by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, an independent.
