Genoa bridge collapse trial highlights Italy's ageing infrastructure issue

In Genoa, a court convicted 32 individuals, including former executives from Autostrade and Spea, for their roles in a tragic bridge collapse that killed 43 people eight years ago. Giovanni Castellucci, the ex-CEO of Autostrade, received a 12-year prison sentence for vehicular homicide and negligence. This case underscores the pressing issue of aging infrastructure in Italy, revealing systemic failures that have dire consequences. It's a stark reminder of the urgent need for comprehensive infrastructure reforms to prevent future disasters.
