Born in Turin in 1961, Paolo Gallo graduated in Aerospace Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Turin. He later obtained an MBA from the University of Turin. He began his career at Fiat Avio in 1988, where he held various roles over 13 years. In 1997, he started focusing on energy, developing new initiatives in Italy, India, and Brazil, and subsequently grouped all the electric power generation activities of the Fiat Group into the company Fiat Energia (of which he was CEO until 2002). CEO and General Manager of Italgas since 2016, Paolo Gallo was renewed for the fourth term in April 2025, in view of the management and acquisition of 2i Rete Gas for the creation of the first gas distributor in Europe. Paolo Gallo published in 2022 “Flight Diary. How to Lead Digital Transformation Between Innovation and Sustainability” (Luiss University Press). In 2025, he published “Out of the Labyrinth. Innovation, Technology, and the Prejudices on Energy Transition” (Luiss).
Italgas is an Italian company specialized in gas distribution, founded in 1837 in Turin under the name of Compagnia di Illuminazione a Gaz per la Città di Torino. Over the years, it changed its name several times, first becoming Società Italiana per il Gas, then Stige, and finally Italgas. In 1900, it was listed on the stock exchange for the first time.
The expansion of Italgas outside the Piedmont capital occurs due to the nationalist policy of the fascist government. In 1967, control of the company passes to the Eni Group. In the following years, Italgas focuses its "core business" on natural gas, expanding abroad through subsidiaries operating in Argentina, Brazil, Greece, Portugal, Spain, Hungary, and becoming an international group with over 10,000 employees. In 2003, Italgas ceases to be listed on the stock exchange, and in 2009, ownership passes to Snam. In 2016, the company is listed again after 13 years, in the FTSE MIB index of the Milan Stock Exchange.
