Antonio Gozzi - according to what we understand - today formalized an appeal to the Confindustria board of arbitrators against the exclusion of his candidacy from the vote for the next presidency of the industrialists' association. The appeal would have been presented both as a candidate and as president of Federacciai.

Gozzi had already addressed the arbitrators with a long letter on 18 March, a sort of first appeal which had not been considered formal. According to some sources, other appeals could also arrive from associations that support the Ligurian industrialist.
