Let's make this birthday one to remember.

75 years old (Born on November 21, 1949)

Happy Birthday, Ignazio Visco! Another year older and wiser—though as an economist, you've probably already calculated the diminishing marginal returns of birthdays. Your insightful books on finance have enlightened many minds; rumor has it even piggy banks feel smarter after reading your work!

Since becoming Governor of the Bank of Italy in 2011, you’ve navigated economic storms with grace and precision. You've balanced budgets better than most juggle birthday cakes—and that's saying something! May this year's candles represent not inflation rates but rather countless successes ahead.

Wishing you a day filled with laughter (and perhaps fewer graphs). Cheers to another prosperous chapter!
