This article examines the reform on multiple voting shares enacted by the Italian Government in 2014.

It also illustrates some interpretative issues raised by the new Italian rules, and the possible motivations of the Italian legislature in taking this step also vis-à-vis the planned privatization of some large state-owned enterprises.File in questo prodotto:
