Italy Expecting "Trade Renaissance" From Russia

Italy is one of the key European trade and economic partners of Russia. The friendly tone is maintained by the parties not only in business but at the highest levels as well. 

Well known, for instance, is the fact that the Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi wears the jacket gifted to him by the Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. 

The bright picture of far-reaching Italian-Russian plans has been clouded by the economic crisis that caused significant reduction in the trade turnover. 

Roberto Pelo, the Director of the Italian Institute for Foreign Trade in Russia, claimed that today businessmen from Apennines are waiting for positive signals from the Russian side counting on the renaissance of large scale trade connections.
