The Italian market has always been at the forefront of towerco activity in the European market, and that trend looks set to continue into 2019. In the last few years we have seen one of the first European sale and leasebacks of scale, the sale of 7,377 Wind towers to Cellnex in 2015, and one of Europe’s most successful MNO tower carve outs, INWIT, successfully floated on the Milan Stock Exchange in 2015 – a feat few towercos have managed since.
