Bruno Ermolli, Vice President of Fondazione Scala, the foundation that runs la Scala opera house, admitted earlier today in Milan, for the first time, that foreign investors could indeed be admitted in the Fondazione's board next month, when, on November 16, a new board will be voted in.
Ermolli didn't go so far as to comfirm that investment banks are already working toward this goal and did not confirm any deals have already been closed, but he conceded to ANSA news agency that "la Scala is world famous and our fundraising work is constantly evolving... we have nothing against foreign investors".
