Italy country watch
Exposure to Italy means watching Rome's fiscal choices and EU recovery-fund milestones, the ports of Genoa, Trieste and Gioia Tauro, strikes and transport disruptions, and the manufacturing, fashion, banking and energy groups of the north. We read Il Sole 24 Ore, Corriere della Sera, La Repubblica, La Stampa and Milano Finanza every morning.
