Afterwards a process of decline of the public sector began: this speeded up in the late Nineties when total revenue from privatization put Italy at the top in the world with regard to income generated from de-nationalisationI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
