Attilio Nicora (born 16 March 1937) is an Italian cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church, Emeritus Bishop of Verona, and the President Emeritus of the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See. On Wednesday, 19 January 2011, Cardinal Nicora was named by Pope Benedict XVI as the President of the four-person Executive Board of the Vatican's new Financial Information Authority (FIA). The new agency, by mandate of an Apostolic Letter, is charged with monitoring the monetary and commercial activities of Vatican agencies, such as the Governorate of Vatican City State, the Vatican Bank, the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See, the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, and smaller agencies such as the Vatican Pharmacy, the Vatican Supermarket, and the Vatican Museums. On Thursday, 30 January 2014, Pope Francis accepted his resignation as President of the Executive Board of the Financial Information Authority, and named Bishop Giorgio Corbellini, Titular Bishop of Abula, and President of the Labour Office of the Apostolic See and the Disciplinary Commission of the Roman Rota, to immediately succeed him as Interim President of the Executive Board of the Authority.
Nicora was born in Varese, Italy and ordained a priest in 1964. Prior to being ordained, he had earned a license in Canon law from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome as well as a license in theology from the Theological Faculty in Milan. After his ordination, he became a professor of canon law at the Theological Seminary of Venegano.
