Milan has taken back the role
of moral capital of Italy, the president of the national
anti-corruption authority Raffaele Cantone said Wednesday.
By comparison "Rome is showing that it doesn't have the
antibodies it needs and which we all hope it might have",
Cantone said.
The former anti-mafia magistrate added that the Expo
organisational model cannot be easily exported without the "deep
institutional synergy" that characterised it.
"We are trying to export it to Rome, but in Rome this is
what's missing," he said.
Cantone is overseeing anti-corruption efforts in Rome in
view of the upcoming Jubilee of Mercy which opens on December 8.
He agency was called in to help with preparations for Expo
in 2014 following a corruption scandal involving contracts for
the world's fair.
