On Thursday, Partner & Head of Italy Vanni Mario Zanchi will be in Milan for DD Talks Private Credit Day Italia, a forum bringing together lenders, sponsors, and investors who are shaping the next phase of the Italian private credit market.
With banks tightening underwriting standards and refinancing needs accelerating, the event gathers the industry’s key players to discuss how capital is being deployed, how deals are being structured, and where the next opportunities are emerging across Italy.
Vanni will speak on the panel “The Engine: Growth of Private Credit & Direct Lending in Italy,” exploring themes including institutional allocations to private credit, competition and fee pressure in direct lending, cross‑border fundraising dynamics, and whether the Italian market can sustain its current momentum.
