Hon. Federico Freni
Undersecretary of State at the Ministry of Economy and Finance of Italy
Hon. Federico Freni serves as Undersecretary of State at the Ministry of Economy and Finance of Italy, a position he has held since the formation of the Meloni government in November 2022. In this capacity, he oversees taxation, fiscal oversight, and regulatory frameworks, including those governing the iGaming and gambling industry. He has represented Italy at international forums such as the SiGMA Central Europe 2025 summit in Rome, where he participated in Business-to-Government dialogues alongside European leaders, underscoring the government's engagement with the digital economy.
Before his appointment as Undersecretary, Freni served as a member of the Italian Chamber of Deputies from 2018 to 2022 for the Lega party. During his parliamentary tenure, he was a member of the Budget Committee, which aligns with his later fiscal responsibilities. His earlier career includes local political roles, though detailed records are limited to his national-level positions.
Freni's current focus includes addressing taxation and regulatory measures for the online gambling sector, as highlighted by his featured speaker role at industry events. His presence at SiGMA Central Europe 2025 reflects the Italian government's proactive stance in shaping iGaming regulation and fostering dialogue between policymakers and industry stakeholders.
