Keep on hoping......
From atwonline:
"Alitalia will end up in foreign hands, Unicredito Italiano CEO Alessandro Profumo predicted in an interview with
Il Sole 24 Ore, in which he blamed Italian protectionism. "We've defended Alitalia so well that it will disappear as an Italian company since thanks to protection, more protection, and yet more protection, the company is no longer able to stand on its own feet," he said. Unicredito and Aeroflot constituted one consortium that dropped out of the Italian government's failed auction for its stake in the loss-making flag carrier."
