Mario Draghi concluded his tenure at Palazzo Chigi by saying that "even the hearts of central bankers are used". Cristina La Bella attempts to recount all the times this has actually happened, reconstructing an unprecedented biography of the former head of the ECB, which goes beyond the mask of the cold bureaucrat and highlights the economist's humanity and the profound reasons that made him one of the leading advocates of international cooperation and European stability. A careful, professional, and private portrait of the man who says "whatever it takes".
