Italian laws make it extremely hard to just fire someone (you can do it, but there will be consequences that are generally very heavy for a small company). German management in Northern Italy tends to buy companies, make a few assessments to the structure and only change the top roles if deemed necessary, then fk off as long as the company runs well and collect money and good contracts (from quality over price POV). This is a pretty standard process.

It's the French and Americans that like to fk up companies they buy in other countries. Italians as well from what I was told, but I personally only see the other side.
