Franco Carraro (born December 6, 1939 in Padua, Italy) is an Italian sport manager and a former member of Italian Socialist Party in the 1980s and 1990s.
Carraro was born in Padua.
He was the president of Italian Federation of Ski-Nautic between 1962 and 1965 and was AC Milan's president between 1967 and 1971.
In the 1970s he worked in Italian Football Federation (FIGC); he was president of Italian League of Serie A and B (1973-1976) and president of Italian Football Federation (1976-1978). On May 19, 1978 he resigned to become CONI's president, a position which he held until 1987.
In the occasion of the Totonero 1986 scandal Carraro was nominated commissaire of FIGC from 1986 and 1987, and afterwards he was president of Italia'90 Committee (Exsecutive Comitate of FIFA World Cup 1990).
From 1997 to 2001 Carraro was president of Italian League (after 24 years) and again president of FIGC between 2001 and 2006. In the latter year he was however forced to quit FIGC as he was one of the protagonists in 2006 Italian football scandal; in a talk with Paolo Bergamo (manager of Italian referees) Carraro declared that SS Lazio must be helped to avoid being relegated in Serie B.
His original punishment was 4 years and 6 months, but later that was turned into a fine of 80,000 euros.
From 1982 Carraro is a member of Olympic Comitate International and from 2004 he is a member of UEFA's exsecutive (until 2009).
He was Italian minister of tourism in Giovanni Goria, Ciriaco De Mita and Giulio Andreotti's governments (1987-1991) and was Mayor of Rome (1989-1993) as a member of the Italian Socialist Party (PSI). He was also supported by actor Carlo Verdone.
