EssilorLuxottica SA Chief Executive Officer Francesco Milleri said he’s open to Italy buying a stake in the eyewear company at a time when the government’s ability to influence corporate affairs is already in the spotlight.
A move by the government led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to invest in French-Italian EssilorLuxottica, the world’s leading producer of eyeglasses and contact lenses, would be welcome, Milleri said in an interview with daily La Repubblica published on Thursday.
