Billionaire Benettons won’t regret leaving Italy’s motorway network

Chassis of vehicles and rubble from the Morandi motorway bridge sit on the ground after the elevated highway partially collapsed in Genoa, Italy, on Tuesday, Aug. 14, 2018. The Italian government called on managers at Atlantia Spa's highway-operator unit to resign following the collapse of the bridge that killed at least 37 people.

THE billionaire Benettons are being forced out of Italy’s motorway network in the wake of the tragic collapse of the Morandi Bridge in 2018.

After years of wrangling over what consequences should be faced by Atlantia SpA, the Benetton-backed infrastructure company that maintained the structure, a settlement is all but inked.
