ITALY’s new right-wing coalition government of the Five Star Movement and the League parties, which came into office on June 1, is starting to turn its attention to rail transport. The government’s first significant act affecting the railways was taken on July 25 by Mr Danilo Toninelli, minister of infrastructure and transport who belongs to the Five Star Movement, when he signed a decree to dismiss the entire board of directors of Italian State Railways (FS), including CEO, Mr Renato Mazzoncini.
