Caltagirone last year expanded his investments in Italy's financial sector and is now a key shareholder in bailed-out bank Monte dei Paschi di Siena (MPS) and fund manager Anima Holding. On Friday MPS launched a surprise 13.3 billion euro all-share offer to buy merchant bank Mediobanca, in which over the last five years Caltagirone has become the second-biggest investor. How Italy's MPS went from near collapse to bid for revered merchant bank Monte dei Paschi (MPS) CEO Luigi Lovaglio has pulled several all-nighters since arriving in Siena in early 2022, when Italy's Treasury picked him out to revive the fortunes of the world's oldest bank, five years after bailing it out. MPS stock traded at 7 euros this week when Lovaglio and his finance chief Andrea Maffezzoni have emerged from two all-nighters that ended in them launching a 13.3 billion euro ($14 billion) all-share takeover bid for larger rival Mediobanca, Italy's historic investment bank. MPS, which once threatened to spread contagion across the industry, is bidding for a bank that for decades held sway over Italy's financial arena.
