Francesco Vignarca has operated for over fifteen years in the field of peace and disarmament, and is now Campaigns Coordinator for the recently established Rete Italiana Pace e Disarmo (after being National coordinator for the former Rete Italiana per il Disarmo since 2004).
In this capacity, he works on the issues of military expenses, private defence companies, military procurement, control of weapons trade, industrial reconversion, arms race and proliferation, paths towards disarmament and nonviolence holding both research and coordinations duties in many campaigns promoted by the Italian peace movement. In this context he has great expertise in advocating the Italian Government and Parliament (and the EU Institutions, too) on the topics above. As Campaigns Coordinator, he works closely with all the networks for peace and disarmament the Rete Italiana Pace e Disarmo is part of: in the last ten years he promoted and coordinated the Italian branch of international campaigns such as Control Arms, Stop Killer Robots, International Campaign Against Nuclear Weapons, Global Campaign on Military Spending, the European Forum on Armed Drones, the European Network Against Arms Trade, and since 2014 has been in the national coordination group for the campaign "Un‟altra difesa è possibile" aiming at the creation and institutional recognition of a nonviolent and non armed Civilian Defence.
Vignarca holds a University Degree in Astro-Physics and a Master Degree in the Sociological field related to human and social development. He is an author of many books regarding arms trade and production, military spending, peace and nonviolence issues, and the privatization of war.
