(Alliance News) - Telecom Italia Spa announced Wednesday that the board voted to co-opt Alessandro Pansa as a member of the board of directors.

Pansa--who does not hold shares in TIM and will be a non-executive--is chairman of Sparkle Spa and was head of the State Police and DIS, the Italian services, and beat off competition from former Leonardo Spa chairman Luciano Carta.

Telecom Italia's stock closed Wednesday up 4.5 percent at EUR0.26 per share.
