Premier Mario Draghi on Monday tapped
army general Francesco Paolo Figliuolo as new commissioner for
the COVID-19 emergency, replacing Domenico Arcuri.
Draghi thanked Arcuri, who has come in for some criticism, for
the "commitment and spirit of dedication with which he performed
his task at a time of particular emergency for the country", the
premier's office said.
General Figliuolo has led Italian missions in Kosovo and
Afghanistan, among several other commands.
