MILAN (Reuters)—A top Italian court said on Wednesday a law excluding Benetton-led Atlantia from reconstruction work on a bridge it operated which collapsed in 2018, killing 43 people, was lawful.

The ruling comes as pressure grows on the Italian government to take a decision on whether to revoke Atlantia unit Autostrade per l'Italia’s concession to run motorways in Italy.
