Sorry if I've missed prior discussion of this, but any ideas who their new partners will be? I feel like starting a rumour that they'll play with Fantoni and Nunes in some combination :)

This was the commentary from Round 16:

Walddk2: Yes, what a shame that they are splitting up after this event. Nothing controversial I'd like to add before I get bombarded with questions
Walddk2: Duboin-Sementa Bocchi-Madala will be new partnerships
snorris: rich sponsors?
Walddk2: sponsors are often rich
bessi2: so Bocchi is taking a break then from the Italian national tem ?
bjacobs: It's a neat play problem in 3NT. After a club lead, it is indeed correct in theory to cross to the spade ace and play a heart up
bessi2: or so I presume, isn't Madala from Argentina
Walddk2: Yes
Walddk2: But he will be eligible to play for Italy eventually

At 1.28 imps/board, Bocchi Duboin lead the Butler for the European. They are 20% better than the next best pair :)

At the risk of intruding I venture to say
that the 21st century Italian World Champions
have not displayed the cohesion of the fabled
Squadra Azzurra.

I hope they do in the future.

I would like to see the dramatic, massive ability
of Douboin-Bocchi-Versace-Lauria-Fantoni-Nunes
keep on taking on the rest of the world as a team,
and winning again as a team.

They don't have to win all the time like the earlier
Squadra Azzurra won. Let Norway, the US and others
take the cup occasionally.

Madala is part of the Italian support squad here.

I don't work for BBO and any advice is based on my BBO experience over the decades
