Giovanni Castellucci (born 23 July 1959 in Senigallia, Italy) is the former chief executive officer of Atlantia SpA. [1]
Giovanni Castellucci was born in Senigallia (Ancona, Italy) in 1959 and graduated in mechanical engineering from the University of Florence. He completed a Master of Business Administration at the School of Management of the Bocconi University in Milan. [2] From 1988 to 1999, he worked for Boston Consulting Group (BCG), at their offices in Paris and Milan, becoming partner and head of Italian customer service and pharma practices. In January 2000 he became chief executive officer of the Barilla Group. In June 2001 he entered the Autostrade Group as general manager. In April 2005 he took on the post of chief executive officer of IT: Autostrade per l'Italia. Following the transformation of the Autostrade Group into Atlantia, Castellucci also assumed the role of chief executive officer of the new holding. In November 2013, he was also a board director of Aeroporti di Roma. [3]
Castellucci's first major professional experience began at Boston Consulting Group's Paris and Milan offices, where he worked between 1988 and 1999 as a consultant, case leader, and manager. In 1994, he became a partner of the group and head of Italian consumer services and pharma practices.
In 2000, Castellucci became chief executive officer of the Barilla Group. Under his management, Barilla saw an increase in revenue of 9% (€4,400 billion in revenue) with a penetration into the US market of 12%. The company became the main pasta manufacturer in the United States.
In June 2001, Castellucci entered the Autostrade Group as a general manager. From April 2005 to January 2019, he also served as chief executive officer of Autostrade per l'Italia.
In July 2013, 40 people died on the Bari-Napoli highway when a bus without a MOT and faulty brakes fell from a viaduct, bursting through the protective guard rails. Multiple former and current managers at Autostrade, including Castellucci, were charged with multiple negligent homicide and criminal negligence. On the 11th of January 2019, Castellucci was absolved by the Court of Avellino. [4]
On the 14th of August 2018, following the collapse of the Morandi Bridge in Genoa, around 20 employees of Autostrade per l'Italia, including Castellucci, received a notice of interest from the Ministry of Infrastructures and Transport and the Public Works Authority of Liguria. Castellucci denied his role in the bridge collapse, stating in an interview that "I didn't know that the bridge was dangerous and that it should have been closed."
In April 2006, Castellucci also assumed the post of chief executive officer of the Autostrade Group, which then became Atlantia. Over the next ten years, the group became one of the main players at international level for infrastructure, rivalling Vinci and Abertis. In addition to 3000 kilometres of highway network in Italy, today Atlantia manages over 2,000 km of toll highways in Brazil, Chile, India and Poland.

[7] [8] [9] From 2012 to the present day, under the guidance of Atlantia, the Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport has constantly improved the quality of its services, becoming the most appreciated hub by passengers in Europe and the Americas according to official findings of Airports Council International. The most recent operation managed by Castellucci was the acquisition of the Spanish infrastructure giant Abertis, [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] now consolidated in Atlantia's balance sheet, following an agreement with ACS and Hochtief. [15] On September 17, 2019, Castellucci resigned from both of his positions as chief executive officer and general manager of Atlantia. [16]
