MILAN (Reuters) - An agreement between Generali (MI:GASI) shareholders remains intact after Francesco Gaetano Caltagirone resigned from the board of Europe's third-largest insurer, a source close to one the shareholders said on Friday.

A construction and newspaper magnate, Caltagirone is Generali's second-biggest investor with an 8.04% stake.

In September Caltagirone struck an accord with Generali's third-largest investor, the eyewear billionaire Leonardo Del Vecchio, and with smaller shareholder CRT to oppose the reappointment of Generali CEO Philippe Donnet.
