The scenario outlined by Il Foglio on a consolidation of Italian banks passing through a large operation involving Unicredit, Mediobanca and Generali triggers the stocks involved to appear on the stock exchange.
Mediobanca, which in the newspaper's hypotheses would be prey to Unicredit, soars and gains 4.5%.
Also rallying is Generali (+3.5%) of which Piazzetta Cuccia is the most important shareholder.
Unicredit, on the other hand, reports only a cautious increase (+0.64%).
The return of banking risk hypotheses also pushes Banco Bpm (+3.5%) and with less conviction Mps (+1.7%) and Bper (+0.8%), which reduced their initial gains.
Popolare i Sondrio, on the other hand, is tonic (+2%).
