Background
Tommaso was born on 23 July 1940 in Belluno, while the family is on holiday. His father was Fabio Padoa-Schioppa (1911-2012), later CEO of the insurance company Assicurazioni Generali, and Stella Schwarz. Fabio worked in Austria but in 1938, due to the Anschluss and the Nazi racial laws (his wife was Christian but of Jewish origin), he returned to Florence in Italy. During the Second World War the family lived in Canepa di Sori in fear of being affected by racial persecution since the mother was of Jewish origin[1] .

He spent his youth in Trieste, where he attended the liceo classico Francesco Petrarca. He graduated in Economics at Bocconi University in Milan in [[1966], he obtained a master's degree in economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston in 1970 (where Franco Modigliani taught[2]).
