FERROVIE DELLO STATO ITALIANE GROUP 2020 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT Letter to the stakeholders (102-14) 2020 left a huge imprint on our lives, inflicting a public health crisis of an unprecedented scale

The initial economic repercussions of the restrictive measures imposed early in the year are now being followed by uncertainty and volatility that must be faced.
