Bernheim is once more president of Generali

The Frenchman Antoine Bernheim is once again president of Generali. In the three and a half years since Mr Bernheim was last at the head of the Italian insurer, the group has seen off two presidents. Equally, the post has become more ceremonial. In May of this year the then incumbent Gianfranco Gutty, who has just resigned as president, was forced to abandon his executive role to Messers Sergio Balbinot and Giovanni Perissinotto.
