Massimo Spada (22 September 1905 – 5 June 1992) was an Italian financier and former administrative secretary of the Institute for the Works of Religion (IOR), commonly known as the Vatican Bank.[1] He served as a key financial administrator and representative for Vatican-held corporate investments during the mid-to-late 20th century.[2]Spada was inducted as a Knight of Malta on September 21, 1944.[3]
Presidency of Lancia
[edit]Spada was president of Lancia between 1960 and 1969.[4][5] Spada's administration oversaw the commercial deployment of several flagship models including the Lancia Flavia (1960), Lancia Fulvia (1963), and Lancia Flaminia Luxury variants (1961–1967).[4]
1981 currency trial
[edit]In May 1981 Spada was indicted and placed on trial in Milan alongside ten other prominent Italian financiers, including Roberto Calvi, the president of Banco Ambrosiano. The defendants faced charges of violating Italian currency laws by illegally exporting approximately $50 million out of Italy into Switzerland without the mandatory notification of the Bank of Italy.[6]
