Telecom Italia may seek Bernabe as its next CEO
Article Abstract:
Telecom Italia SpA is eyeing ENI SpA CEO Franco Bernabe as its next CEO to replace Gian Mario Rossignolo who was terminated on Oct. 23, 1998 for a series of management blunders. Oil firm ENI SpA, which is the largest firm in Italy, is being led by Bernabe through stock market capitalization. Telecom Italia, which is the second biggest firm in Italy, has been without a CEO since February 1998. It is uncertain whether Bernabe would accept the offer but those close to him said he could be encouraged by the challenge to run Telecom Italia. The firm, which was nearly privatized a year ago, had missteps in no less than three international alliances and must confront deregulation.

BNL is marketed as having started needed revamp
Article Abstract:
Banca Nazionale del Lavoro SpA (BNL) of Italy is preparing for the sale of the government's 82% stake in the bank with a restructuring. The bank's CEO, Davide Croff, is overseeing a housecleaning that has resulted in a 4.4-trillion-lire ($2.66 billion) expense to put its loan book in shape and a reduction of 2,000 in its employee complement in the past three years that will be increase by another 3,300 in the following three years. Croff's idea is to sell the bank to investors as a bank that has already undergone a much-needed revamp and is now ready for growth.
