Whirlpool, the world's largest maker of home appliances, has agreed to pay 758 million euros ($1 billion) to buy a 60 percent stake in smaller Italian rival Indesit to further expand beyond its U.S. home market. The deal is the latest in a string of buys by foreign players of Italian companies battling against the country's longest recession in 70 years. REUTERS/Tony Gentile (ITALY - Tags: BUSINESS LOGO)
