Italy: Alitalia, the end?

It is quite incredible that after all this time with Alitalia on the brink (it seems to me it was bust in July, if not earlier), we are now told that today is the last day. If everything isn't agreed by tonight, Alitalia will cease to be.

I am reminded of some ham actor going through a death scene and milking it for 5 minutes on stage.

Wouldn't it be easier just to let the thing drop and have people who knew how to run airlines do the flying in and out of Italy?

I bet some agreement is reached, though, rendering the company's long term viability even less likely.
