You really have to wonder about due diligence that investors make, there seems to be real issue with the emperors cloths sometimes and calling it out. lnkd.in/epVYkDJH lnkd.in/e5THJnnj

Interesting move by Italian government and one which clearly says we like foreign investment but not when they seek to take control of key businesses. How will this affect other investment decisions in Italy. lnkd.in/eknceGKp
