ITALIAN State Railways (FS) has proved adept at coping with Italy's roller-coaster political scene even when faced with politically-driven changes to its senior management team, as happened last year. A month after taking office in June 2018, Italy's transport minister, Mr Danilo Toninelli, decided to remove the entire FS board including CEO, Mr Renato Mazzoncini, and appoint a new board chaired by Mr Gianluigi Vittorio Catelli, with Mr Gianfranco Battisti named CEO.
