Claudia Barattini (born 1960) is a Chilean teacher and political scientist. She was a minister during the second government of Michelle Bachelet.[1]
Barattini was director of La Morada Women's Development Corporation (1998−1999), cultural attaché of the Chilean Embassy in Italy (2006−2010) and director of Foreign Affairs of the Teatro a Mil Foundation (2010−2014). For three seasons, she was the curator of the Chilean pavilion at the Venice Biennale.
After the 1973 coup d'état led by general Augusto Pinochet against the Marxist government of Salvador Allende (1970−1973), Barattini went into exile alongside her parents in 1974. She lived in Poland and then in Italy, where she studied classical ballet at the National Academy of Dance in Rome, followed by three years of economics at La Sapienza University.
In the 1980s, Barattini returned to Chile to resume her studies in economics at the University of Chile, specializing in trade management. However, she left that field to study History at the Metropolitan University of Educational Sciences (UMCE)
