Borsa Italiana, based in Milan at Mezzanotte Palace, is the Italian stock exchange. It manages and organises domestic market, regulating procedures for admission and listing of companies and intermediaries and supervising disclosures for listed companies.[3]

Following exchange privatisation in 1997, the Italian Bourse was established and became effective on 2 January 1998.[4] On 23 June 2007, the Italian Bourse became a subsidiary of the London Stock Exchange Group.[5] This changed on 9 October 2020, when a €4.3 billion deal was agreed between the London Stock Exchange Group and pan-European stock exchange group Euronext.[6] Euronext's acquisition of the Italian Bourse was completed on 29 April 2021. It is expected Italian Bourse will be rebranded as Euronext Milan in due course.[7]

Borsa Italiana is also informally known as Piazza Affari (lit. 'Business Square'), after the city square of Milan where its headquarters (the Palazzo Mezzanotte building) is located.

Borsa Italiana is chaired by Claudia Parzani, and Fabrizio Testa is the CEO.[8]

Borsa Italiana is regulated by the Commissione Nazionale per le Società e la Borsa (CONSOB), an agency of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, based in Rome. As of April 2018, overall capitalisation for listed companies on Borsa Italiana was worth €644.3 billion, representing 37.8% of Italian GDP.[9]
