The government said Friday that Economy Minister Giovanni Tria has nominated Fabrizio Salini to be the CEO of State broadcaster RAI and Marcello Foa to be a board member.
RAI's parliamentary oversight body will vote on making Foa president of the broadcaster.
After a cabinet meeting on Friday, Labour and Industry Minister and Deputy Premier Luigi Di Maio said the appointments were the start of a "cultural revolution" for RAI. "Now we'll get rid of the people benefiting from nepotism and parasites" added Di Maio, the leader of the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement.
