The editorial by Andrea Barchiesi

For the first time, Pier Silvio Berlusconi tops the Top Manager Reputation ranking with a score of 85.92. His rise is driven by Mediaset’s new programming schedules, his press statements, strong Canale 5 ratings, whispered talk of a possible move into politics, and market activity around MFE. Claudio Descalzi, CEO of Eni, climbs three places to second with 84.40, thanks to an agreement with BMW and a $1.5 billion deal covering an Algerian field. Third is Carlo Messina (84.32), CEO of Intesa Sanpaolo, which is setting aside €10 billion for employment initiatives. Up two places to fourth, Renato Mazzoncini of A2A scores 81.71 after investing in employee welfare and opening Italy’s first liquid-cooled data centre. In fifth, Andrea Orcel of UniCredit posts 81.62, having withdrawn his offer for Banca Popolare di Milano amid Golden Power objections. Luca de Meo stands sixth at 80.90, eagerly awaited at the helm of Kering. Seventh is Alessandro Benetton (79.00), reconfirmed as chairman of Edizione. Urbano Cairo climbs four spots to eighth with 76.86, buoyed by La7’s continually improving ratings unveiled at the network’s schedule presentation. Ninth remains Giorgio Armani (76.79), followed by Matteo Del Fante of Poste Italiane in tenth (74.37). read more
