(ANSA) - Rome, July 30 - Transport Minister Danilo Toninelli
named a new CEO and president of Ferrovie dello Stato (FS) on
Monday after sacking the former chiefs of the railway company
last week.
He said Gianfranco Battisti will be the new CEO and Gianluigi
Vittorio Castelli will be president.
"We have put two excellent managers from inside the company
in the top two posts, which will show those who accused us of
wanting to occupy positions," Toninelli said via Facebook.
Former CEO Renato Mazzoncini said Thursday that his dismissal
was down to the "decision of the new government to apply the
spoils system".
