| Abstract: | Franco Bernabe's days as chief executive of mighty Telecom Italia certainly looked numbered in mid-April. Facing a ferocious, $62 billion hostile assault from feisty Olivetti, Bernabe was quickly losing support from key shareholders and from the Italian government. Then, on Apr. 12, after the boyish-looking 51-year-old even failed to garner enough votes to convene a Telecom shareholders' meeting, Bernabe quietly commented to associates: "I might have a little surprise in store". |
