Italy to Replace Germany as New European Powerhouse?

Weeks after Russia launched its "special military operation" against Ukraine on February 24, 2022, the CEO of Italian energy major Eni, Claudio Descalzi embarked on swift official visits to Africa.

Is Europe getting a new leader in the form of Italy? Watch to know more.
