(Finance) – Discover what place Italy occupies today in the world and not forget its best traits, those strengths from which to start again and write the future of a country that cannot and must not abandon itself to the idea of ​​a destiny already marked. Savior Redspresident of Tim with a past as general director of the Bank of Italy and president of the Insurance Supervisory Institute – IVASS, follows this path by describing the Italian economy and comparing it with that of the great world powers, wondering if a new Italian Renaissance it’s possible.
