Of the 40 CEOs of the companies listed in the Ftse Mib index of Piazza Affari, only one woman. This is Giuseppina Di Foggia, who has been at the helm of Terna since May 9th.

Of the 40 listed Italian companies only 3% are led by a woman. The figure is in line with other European countries such as Germany, but is decidedly lower than that of France (8%), Finland (13%) and Denmark (13%).
