But in one year on the job as chief of Ente Nazionale Idrocarburi (E.N.I.), Marcello Boldrini, a former professor of statistics, has proved as aggressively expansive as Mattei. Traveling from the Volga to the Congo, Boldrini has won a barrel of new business for E.N.I. and spearheaded Italian commercial penetration abroad...
