Now, the superintendent of Milan’s La Scala, Dominique Meyer, has joined the huge number of those signing a petition launched by several Unions to name Malpensa airport after Carla Fracci. The unions asked not to proceed with the naming of the airport after Berlusconi as a « deeply divisive » name. « The name we are proposing, » reads the note sent to companies and institutions, « has conveyed elegance, style and bravura all over the world as the best example of our country’s artistic abilities.
