Let's make this birthday one to remember.

77 years old (Born on August 18, 1947)

Happy Birthday, Giulio Tremonti! Celebrating the man who balanced Italy's budget more times than most of us balance our checkbooks. From steering economic policy through turbulent waters four separate times between 1994 and 2011 to chairing Aspen Institute Italia with unmatched finesse, your financial wizardry remains legendary.

May this birthday bring you as much joy as a perfectly balanced spreadsheet—and fewer headaches than negotiating national budgets. Here's hoping your day is filled with laughter, relaxation, and absolutely no fiscal deficits!

Cheers to another year of timeless wisdom and humor—because unlike economies, great leaders only appreciate over time!
