Six Years After Morandi Bridge Collapse

Published: 2024-08-14

Six years after the tragic collapse of the Morandi Bridge in Genoa, which claimed 43 lives and displaced 566 people, the community of Certosa remains in a state of limbo.

Despite promises of revitalization, the area is still grappling with unfinished projects and a sense of abandonment.

Architect Andrea Boschetti, involved in the design of the Memorial Park, voices concerns over the stalled redevelopment plans, urging for greater attention to the future of Valpolcevera.

Meanwhile, families of the victims continue to seek justice, as the legal proceedings drag on with no resolution in sight.

The upcoming inauguration of the Memorial is seen as a crucial step in preserving the memory of the tragedy, yet the community's call for comprehensive urban renewal remains unanswered.
