　　Some people call him “Guidone”—big Guido. Large in both physical stature and reputation, Guido Rossi, who took over as Telecom Italia's chairman on September 15th following the surprise resignation of Marco Tronchetti Provera, has stood out from the Italian business crowd for more than three decades. Mr. Rossi, who attended Harvard law school in the 1950s and wrote a book on American bankruptcy law, made his name as a corporate lawyer keen on market rules and their enforcement. He has since worked in both private and public sectors, including stints in the Italian Senate and as one of the European Commission's group of company-law experts.

　　As well as running a busy legal practice, he also has a reputation as a corporate troubleshooter and all-round Mr Fix-It, and is often called upon to clean up organisations in crisis. His role at Telecom Italia marks a return to the company he headed for ten months in 1997, during its politically tricky and legally complex privatisation. Before that, Mr Rossi had been sent in to sort out Ferruzzi-Montedison, an agri-business and chemicals group, which had collapsed after magistrates uncovered tangentopoli (“bribesville”). Last year his legal scheming was crucial in ABN Amro's victorious bid for Banca Antonveneta. Most recently, he acted as special commissioner at Italy's football association, where he was drafted in to sort out the mess after a massive match-rigging scandal exploded earlier this year. Alas, his efforts to bleach football's dark stains produced the same meagre[4] results as his other efforts to get Italian business and finance to change its ways.

　　“Like Italians when tangentopoli burst, fans wanted justice when the scandal broke; but enthusiasm for legality quickly waned,” sighs Francesco Saverio Borrelli, Milan's former chief prosecutor, who headed the city's assault on corruption during the 1990s and was appointed by Mr Rossi to dig out football's dirt. The political muscle of the clubs prevented tough measures being taken against them, reflecting Italy's two-tier justice system in which the rich and powerful can do what they like. “Economic interests in football far outweigh sporting interests,” remarks Mr Borrelli. The rottenness in football shocked even the unshakeable Mr Rossi. “Football did not want rules, it just wanted me to solve its problems,” he says. Despairing of being able to change much, he resigned in September and turned his attentio

　　吉多·羅西人稱(chēng)“吉多尼(Guidone)”,就是大吉多的意思，(全因他)身材魁梧，又頗有聲望。30 多年來(lái)，吉多·羅西在意大利商界一直是叱咤風(fēng)云的人物。在意大利電信公司的馬可·特龍切蒂·普羅費(fèi)拉(Marco Tronchetti Provera)突然辭職后，吉多·羅西于 9 月 15 日接任董事長(zhǎng)一職。羅西在上世紀(jì) 50 年代就讀哈佛大學(xué)法學(xué)院，曾編著過(guò)一本有關(guān)美國(guó)破產(chǎn)法的書(shū)籍，后專(zhuān)注于市場(chǎng)規(guī)則及執(zhí)行情況的研究，成為一名企業(yè)律師，由此聲名鵲起。

　　此后，羅西在政界和企業(yè)界都有任職經(jīng)歷，曾在意大利參議院干過(guò)一段時(shí)期，之后在歐洲委員會(huì)企業(yè)法專(zhuān)家組也任過(guò)職。羅西曾開(kāi)辦過(guò)一家律師事務(wù)所，做得也是有聲有色。此外，他還因幫助很多企業(yè)成功處理棘手問(wèn)題而名聲在外，人稱(chēng)“故障排除多面手”。也正因如此，許多企業(yè)組織經(jīng)常請(qǐng)他出山，幫助化解危機(jī)。 1997 年，意大利電信公司推行私有化，遭遇了政治和法律上的重重障礙，當(dāng)時(shí)也是羅西臨危受命，在該公司擔(dān)任了 10 個(gè)月的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)職位。此次他擔(dān)任意大利電信公司董事長(zhǎng)一職不啻是一種回歸。在 1997 年之前，羅西被委派處理法魯茲 -蒙特狄遜 (Ferruzzi-Montedison)的案子。這家經(jīng)營(yíng)農(nóng)業(yè)和化學(xué)品的集團(tuán)公司被當(dāng)?shù)胤ü僦缚赜懈瘮⌒袨�，之后該公司宣告破產(chǎn)。去年，荷蘭銀行 Amro 公司成功收購(gòu) Banca Antonveneta，羅西的法律專(zhuān)長(zhǎng)功不可沒(méi)。而就在此次走馬上任之前，他擔(dān)任意大利足球協(xié)會(huì)特別委員，幫助收拾今年早些時(shí)候足球丑聞爆發(fā)后留下的爛攤子。此前，羅西一直勵(lì)精圖治，希望改變意大利工商界和金融界的運(yùn)作方式，但收效甚微，而他幫助意大利足協(xié)平息丑聞的努力也無(wú)甚起色，令人遺憾。

　　“當(dāng)腐敗丑聞曝光時(shí)，意大利民眾疾呼要徹查腐敗，同樣，當(dāng)足壇丑聞浮出水面時(shí)，球迷也呼吁要討回公道。但是，這股伸張正義的熱情很快就銷(xiāo)聲匿跡了，”薩維利奧 ·博雷利說(shuō)。博雷利是米蘭市的前首席檢察官，曾在上世紀(jì) 90 年代在米蘭帶頭反腐，并受羅西之托協(xié)助徹查足壇丑聞。不過(guò)，意大利各足球俱樂(lè)部后臺(tái)都很硬，根本無(wú)法對(duì)他們施以重拳。這也從側(cè)面反映了意大利司法體系實(shí)行的是雙重標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，有錢(qián)有勢(shì)者可以為所欲為，凌駕于法律之上�！白銐�的經(jīng)濟(jì)利益遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過(guò)體育利益，”博雷利說(shuō)。足壇腐敗如是，連一向堅(jiān)定推行改革的羅西也大為震驚�！白銋f(xié)根本不是讓我去秉公執(zhí)法的，只不過(guò)是讓我去臨危救火的，”他說(shuō)。眼看足協(xié)改革無(wú)望，羅西于 9 月辭去足協(xié)職務(wù)，轉(zhuǎn)而將目光鎖定意大利電信。
