The “guru” of the new Italian prime minister was one of the pillars of Keynesianism
A mystery still surrounds the disappearance on April 15, 1987 of Federico Caffe, the economics professor with whom Mario Draghi graduated. It was with him that the new Prime Minister of Italy and former director of the European Central Bank was trained as an economist.
The university professor, whose name sounds like the name of a cafe, left his Roman home 38 years ago and never returned.
To this day, the body
Is not found
and it is a mystery what really happened to him.
Federico Caffe, professor of economic and financial policy at the Sapienza University of Rome, has left a lasting mark on the training of hundreds of economists in Italy. Among them is Mario Draghi, whose views on the economy are strongly influenced by him. The current prime minister graduated in 1970 from the professor, known as a major pillar of Keynesianism in Italy. Draghi’s thesis deals with economic integration and exchange rate variations.
She was very critical of the project of then Luxembourg Prime Minister Pierre Werner. Under his direction, in 1969 a report was drawn up on the achievement of economic and monetary union in a period of 10 years, according to a plan that would be implemented in several stages. The ultimate goal is to achieve full liberalization of capital movements, universal convertibility of the currencies of the Member States and irrevocably fixed exchange rates. Draghi’s thesis is that at that time, in 1970,

At the time, Draghi was entirely inspired by Keynesian economic theories, supported by Professor Caffe.
Keynesianism, based on the ideas of British economist John Maynard Keynes, argues that private sector decisions can sometimes lead to poor macroeconomic performance, and thus advocates central bank monetary policy as well as government action on fiscal policy.
Dragi is very close to Prof. Kafe. He later went on to specialize at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
But what about Federico Caffe? Does he commit suicide or does he go to a convent? The chronicles of the newspapers of those years are full of different hypotheses. When the professor left his home in Rome’s Monte Mario district, he was 73 years old and had not taught for two years. Alfonso, her brother, was the first to report her disappearance to the police. At that time

As Aggi recalls, the head of the then police station, where Alfonso was going, was Antonio del Greco.
“I remember that with the other police departments we took turns on duty for seven hours to look for the teacher,” Del Greco said. The block where Prof. Café lives is located near the Monte Mario park. Police searched the entire park with dogs and helicopters participated in the search, but to no avail. Just a week after his disappearance, the professor’s brother reported to the media, appealing to anyone who knew anything to report. Even his former students are involved in the search for Federico Café. They report all the places you loved to visit at the time.
The most surprising thing is the fact that the professor

His glasses, apartment keys and watch remain on his desk at home. That’s why everyone thinks he couldn’t have gone that far from the block.
The search for Prof. Federico Caffe includes the best policemen in Rome. Everyone wonders how and why it disappeared. His brother Alfonso confided to some researchers that the professor was suffering from depression at the time. It was for the recent loss of his mother, as well as the deaths of two of his favorite students. One of them, Ezio Tarantelli, was killed by the far-left Red Brigades, and the other, Fausto Vicarelli, was killed in a car accident. On top of all that came the teacher’s retirement, which didn’t have a good effect on his psyche either.
The search for Federico Caffe has dragged on for days, yet investigators cannot know if it was a murder or a suicide. To this day, his body has not been found, although even the bottom of the Tiber River has been searched with the idea of a possible tragic gesture by the professor. The professor’s students carefully examine hundreds of pages of notes that he kept on his desk at home in an attempt to find any clues as to his intentions. And this time the investigation has a downside. The investigators went to all the ambulance departments of the capital in search of information, as well as to religious institutes and monasteries, asking if he had gone to any of them.
In the end, all attempts to find him were in vain. Thus, on October 30, 1998, or 11 and a half years later, the Rome court announced the supposed death of Federico Caffe.
