We wrote it on this site just a few days ago. And that is the possibility that the old, run-down former communist bank, now completely restored, Monte dei Paschi one would have liked to eat the coat of arms Mediobanca.
Let’s be clear: this is not a very generous offer and certainly not a hostile takeover which sees on one side the government together with Caltagirone and the Luxottica group and on the other the old Milanese establishment, son of Cuccia and Maranghi. A revolution.
This is all intertwined with Orcel’s public offering, i.e of Unicreditalso hostile towards the Banco Popolare di Milano. In short, nothing more than banking risk. We’ll see some good ones.
