The Secretary of the Council of Ministers (Italian: Segretario del Consiglio dei Ministricode: it is deprecated ) is a senior member of the Italian Cabinet. The Secretary is one of the Undersecretaries of State to the Presidency of the Council of Ministers but, unlike them, he sits in the Cabinet and helps the Prime Minister in coordinating the government and its meetings. Thus, the Secretary is usually a person very close to the Prime Minister. The Secretary of the council, which may not be confused with the largely ceremonial office of Deputy Prime Minister (not all Italian Cabinets include one), resembles that of the White House Chief of Staff. The current Secretary of the council is Roberto Garofoli, appointed on 13 February 2021 in the government led by Prime Minister Mario Draghi.
