Within the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), a massive international infrastructure investment programme designed by China under President Xi’s leadership, Italy has a geopolitical advantage as access to continental Europe, which has further increased after the huge Chinese investments in Piraeus, now the main hub of Chinese trade in Europe. Italy has been targeted by Chinese investors since quite some time, aiming well beyond its manufacturing industries, specifically in infrastructures (ports, logistics and utilities), but Chinese interest in Italian ports has intensified over the past few years. This led to the signature of a MoU on BRI in March 2019. In this paper we review the circumstances that led to the above MoU, mainly focusing on economic aspects.
