Secretary of the Council of Ministers of Italy
The Secretary of the Council of Ministers is a senior member of the Italian Cabinet.
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, 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.List
