Leadership and restructuring at Banca di Asti

Overview

Maurizio Rasero, the Mayor of Asti, announced his resignation as President of Banca di Asti to prioritize his mayoral duties. This decision followed a request from the Bank of Italy on August 28 for clarification regarding his dual role. While Rasero maintained that his appointments complied with regulations and presented no formal conflicts of interest, the Bank of Italy’s ‘Fit & Proper’ assessment of the institution’s leadership is expected to conclude in late 2026.

Concurrently, local councilors in Asti have filed an inquiry regarding the bank’s restructuring plans. The proposed changes include 165 early retirements and the merger of 20 branches. Councilors have raised concerns regarding the mayor’s dual role and his commitment to personnel turnover requested by labor unions.
