History
Pierluigi Testa, the founder, before a meeting

Since February 2012 Trinità dei Monti has organized a series of institutional meetings with a general view to promoting positive economic, business, banking and financial culture as well as fostering such culture in the course of time in order to instil confidence in the public bodies and to create a large pool of skills for the current and future establishment.[3][4]

In 2018, TdM expanded, and it opened a new satellite centre in Naples.[5] In 2019, the think tank organised an event with the Swiss Embassy to Rome, to talk about economic and cultural relations between Switzerland and Southern Italy.[6]
