"We take note of your decision and wish to express our thanks for the decisive contribution provided by you to the company for the past 40 years, ”the group's board of directors replied.

THE'October 11th the Engineer had sent Gedi a proposal "for the purchase of a 29.9% stake" and the October 15th had released an interview with Corriere della Sera in which he announced his will to "recover" The Republic and "give away the shares to a Foundation": "I understand that my children do not like the newspaper – the entrepreneur said – but they stop destroying it".
