Very armchair for the banker Corrado Passera. The CEO of Intesa Sanpaolo, where a delicate battle for the succession is now opening, is not only the main surprise of the last few hours in the list of ministers but even conquers two ministries at once.
In fact, President Monti wanted to give him both the Ministry of Development (that is, the department that previously dealt with both Industry and Communications) and that of Infrastructure and Transport, explaining that infrastructure and transport are the driving force behind economic development. Pending the possible passage of the interim of the Economy, currently held by Monti himself, to a real minister, there is no doubt that in the ministerial team Passera is in fact the number two of the new government.
