In the area of macroeconomic policies, I think we'll see more centralization, like in the budgetary sphere.

It is rather unusual for Italy to be at the forefront of pro-market initiatives.

Reference to the territory and total disregard for the nationality of the companies is of course the best guarantee that competition assessment remain just that and doesn't get affected by trade or other considerations.

There was in Italy a hidden demand for a boring government which would try to tell the truth in non-political jargon.

I believe that reforms will not really take hold if they do not gradually come into the culture of the people.

It is very unusual for a country to ask guys who are not politicians to come and run the country.

I hope that my government can help change Italian mentality.
