Eight years after August 14, 2018, and one month after the first-instance verdict in the trial regarding responsibilities, Genoa remembers the 43 victims of the Morandi Bridge collapse. This morning in the Certosa district, the mass was officiated by Archbishop Marco Tasca. Then, at the Radura della Memoria, the ceremony in memory of the victims with the authorities: Deputy Mayor Silvia Salis, Prefect Cinzia Torraco, the President of the Liguria Region Marco Bucci, and the Deputy Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Edoardo Rixi.

“We expected a representative from the central government. It is clear that Deputy Minister Rixi is there, whom we respect a lot, who has always been close to us, but I believe that greater attention should have been paid in this circumstance. We expected one more figure in addition to the deputy minister,” declared Egle Possetti, spokesperson for the Committee for the Remembrance of the Victims of the Morandi Bridge. “After a verdict in which the responsibilities of the State were ascertained, I believed that someone from Rome would have deigned to make a mea culpa with their presence, nothing more,” said Giuseppe Matti Altadonna, father of Luigi, who died at 35. “I expected Meloni, but also Mattarella, given that we see the president present in many cases and a little less so in Genoa.”
