One other thing I would be watchful for, with also Deutsche Banks involvement.

100 year Italy bonds at near ZERO percent interest

This crisis can go one of two ways. Either Italy crashes out of the EURO, or the ECB pulls an incredible fraud on the European people. 100 year bonds at Zero interest would effectively allow Italy to carry on as if they had little to no debt. The real cost of this would be devastating to the rest of Europe pushing the whole block into decline for generations. Trust in the banking system would collapse and start an unstoppable spiral of decline.

I have looked into this after it was mentioned, and in fairness dismissed as crazy. But you can never tell with the EU. I can’t rule it out, regardless of how financially stupid this would be.
