“The Italy of my children will be at head of Europe, economically. Beca...” — Matteo Renzi Quote

“The Italy of my children will be at head of Europe, economically. Because Italy has all the conditions to be the country of the startups, the country of artisans and quality, and the country of the big companies.”

“Italy will never be a normal country. Because Italy is Italy. If we were a normal country, we wouldn't have Rome. We wouldn't have Florence. We wouldn't have the marvel that is Venice.”

“Italy remained attached to conservatism. It had a political class that lived in the past and didn't build the future. The past is our strength, but it risks becoming our ruin if we walk with our heads turned backwards.”

“I hear my own daughters talking about big companies polluting the environment, and then I realise they are talking about companies of which one I am running. But when I tell them to read the things we are doing, then they realise we are doing good things. But millennials are really a great lot.”

“I think this notion that it's the population of the U.S. against the big companies is just wrong.”

“Corporate governance is important for small- and medium-sized enterprises, but they can't do it in the same way as big companies.”
