Prosecutor Cozzi: "Un altro ponte? Evidence must be preserved"
by

Prosecutor Cozzi: «Another bridge? Evidence must be preserved."

The need to create a road structure "to allow vehicles to pass immediately" does not prevail "over the need to safeguard and acquire evidence". Francesco Cozzi, chief prosecutor of Genoa, said this. By next week Autostrade should present one or more plans for the safety and demolition of the remaining stumps, as reported by governor Toti, but the intervention plan will be subjected to examination by the Prosecutor's Office: «With...

There is a link between Salvini in power and the collapse of the Genoa bridge”. A conspiracy theorist whose exceptional power we know assures us, Jacques Attali. The banker, creator of Macron, creator of the European treaties in the sense (by his admission) more antidemocratic, he wrote a poisonous paragraph in one of his blogs in the weekly L'Express, already reported for attacks on Salvini, That …

BECAUSE I'M NOT LOVED BY THE CONSPIRACY HYPOTHESIS ABOUT GENOA (You have it before your eyes) )

WHY’ THE CONSPIRACY HYPOTHESIS ABOUT GENOA DOESN'T FEAT ME (L’ you have before your eyes) )

“Consob warns the government: dangerous to disturb the markets". Here is a headline from the day after the Genoa disaster. The threat from Consob: Salvini and Di Maio, speaking loudly against Atlantia and the Benettons, they had caused the stock to lose "billions".. So according to this logic, It wasn't the collapse of the bridge that caused Benetton shares to fall, they are looking for me...

Benetton Maletton
by

FIFTH COLUMN
Of Marcello Veneziani
The Benettons not only produced sweaters and managed highways but were the first local factory of global ideology. They were not only sponsors but also precursors of the ideological alphabet, symbolic and sentimental of the left. They were the bridge, it's worth saying, between the multinational interests of global capitalism and the Americanization of the planet, with their profits and their marketing and anti-racism messages, against sexism, in favor of society without borders, lgbt, transgressive and progressive. Their campaigns, entrusted to Oliviero Toscani, they tried to unite the shock side, which often bordered on bad taste and a punch in the stomach, with the progressive humanitarian message: multiracial society, without borders, without distinctions of sex, of religions, of ethnic groups and peoples, with special attention to minors. Remove barriers everywhere, except at toll booths, where it comes to taking tolls. Benetton recently also carried out humanitarian campaigns on immigrant boats and launched a video "against all resurgent racism". The connection between sermons on the skin of the desperate and selling sweaters or charging cars tolls is mysterious. Read More

Tragedy of Genoa: Statement from Prime Minister Conte
by

FROM THE PRESIDENCY OF THE COUNCIL OF MINISTERS

Today the Government, through the competent Directorate of the Ministry of Infrastructure, formally forwarded the information to "Autostrade per l'Italia". letter of dispute which initiates the procedure for terminating the concession.
The Government accuses the concessionaire that he had the obligation to take care of the ordinary and extraordinary maintenance of the A10 motorway, the serious disaster that followed the collapse of the bridge. The concessionaire will have the right to send its counter-arguments within 15 days, without prejudice to the fact that the disaster is an objective and indisputable fact and that the burden of preventing it fell on the concessionaire who was responsible for the maintenance and custody obligations.
News has spread that Autostrade per l'Italia would be willing to rebuild the bridge at its expense. If this proposal is formalized the Government will evaluate it, but not as a counterpart to giving up the voice of all the victims of this enormous tragedy. If this bridge reconstruction initiative is charged to "Autostrade per l'Italia" it will only be as temporary compensation for damage, without prejudice to the wound inflicted on the victims, to their families and to the country is immeasurable and certainly cannot be healed in this way.

Morandi Bridge, from 'absolute stability' to 'intense degradation'
by

Morandi Bridge, yes “absolutely established” of “intenso degrado”: so Autostrade changed to soli 2 years the judgment in the official reportsREPORT
…So Autostrade changed to soli 2 years the judgment in the official reports
In the 2009 Motorways for Italy “has repeatedly provided guarantees” about the “presumed old age” of the structure, That “it just needs, like all works of a certain importance, of constant ordinary maintenance”. In the 2011 the work is described, Instead, come “subjected to enormous stress” and for this reason “subject to continuous maintenance for years”. The evolution in two subsequent reports from the company that has the concession for the viaduct
Of Marco Pasciuti
An infrastructure characterized in 2009 and "absolute safetye stability“, on which the company "has repeatedly provided guarantees". That's just two years later, In the 2011, is described as being afflicted with “intense degradation” and has therefore been “the subject of a for years continuous maintenance“. It's the way in alone 24 months the judgment of Motorways for Italy on the Morandi bridge, collapsed yesterday in Genoa causing the death of at least 37 people.
The theme is that of the construction of Western Gronda, new motorway section capable of guaranteeing the doubling of the existing A10 in the section crossing the municipality of Genoa, from Val Polcevera to the town of Vesima. A link road that is part of the project to improve the traffic of the capital, intended for projects Apsi – which has the A10 motorway under concession, she takes care of its maintenance and has come under fire in the hours following the tragedy – to “improve traffic conditions on the existing network”, “support economic growth”, “improve the road safety” and “offer an alternative to the only Ligurian motorway axis”. A topic that triggers a bitter political confrontation, which merged nine years ago into a participatory democracy project: il public debate held in the capital between February 1st and 30 April 2009.

L'ira del web contro Benetton e Toscani: "Metterete una maglietta rossa per le vittime di Genova?"

Reporting of G.B.
The Benetton family, which through Atlantia controls Autostrade per l'Italia, in the sights of social media. Toscani's do-gooder campaigns are also under attack
Of Sergio Rame
From pain to anger. The transition is immediate. Sui social network, and especially on Twitter, Anger is being vented at this time against the Benetton family.
Media lynching is, Indeed, started soon after the first statements by ministers Luigi Di Maio, Matteo Salvini and Danilo Toninelli against the company Motorways for Italy that, through Atlantia, it is in fact controlled by the Benettons. “Now you will wear a red shirt for the victims of Genoa?”, writes a challenging user Oliviero Toscani That last 7 July had demonstrated against government policies of closing the ports to boats loaded with illegal immigrants.
Several hundred tweets. One after the other. All popped up a few hours later the dramatic collapse of Morandi bridge on the A10 motorway. Social networks are unleashing themselves against the Benettons by posting, just as the death toll increases hour by hour, several shots that portray a smiling and complete family group. In other posts, a photomontage was published in which Toscani is seen holding a photograph of the collapsed bridge in his hand. “Now you will wear a red shirt for the victims of Genoa?”, a user writes to him referring to the demonstration of 7 last July in support of illegal immigrants who land on the Italian coasts.

Genova: Morandi Bridge
by

Morandi Bridge
THE INVESTIGATION
Of Roberto Pecchioli
We didn't want to believe it. The collapse of the Morandi Bridge, that we Genoese, with a touch of colonized provincialism we called it the Brooklyn Bridge, It's a shocking tragedy, for its load of victims, pain, destruction and the terrible consequences that will drag on for years. This is not the time for jackals, but help, of condolence, of help, of collaboration. However, one cannot remain silent, keep a lid on anger over another sinisterly Italian tragedy: a work of that importance cannot collapse after just one day 50 years. For the writer there is something personal, almost intimately in the pain of these hours. Children, we participated in 1967 at the inauguration of the bridge with all the school groups of Genoa. Equipped with a tricolor flag, stationed in front of the stage, we followed the ceremony, we saw with the wonder of age the president of the republic Giuseppe Saragat surrounded by men in full uniform and the imposing figure of the great cardinal Siri, historic archbishop of the city.
We have crossed that very long bridge thousands of times, seventy meters above the valley of the Polcevera stream full of council houses and industrial warehouses of the former Superba, every day for decades we saw and touched it on our way to work. It's no longer there and it's someone's fault. They talk about lightning, of an intense storm and structural failure. Let's wait to make judgements, but on the morning of the eve of the August bank holiday it just rained. No floods, from the years 70 we remember at least six, devastating, in the city of Genoa. We don't know how many lightning strikes have struck engineer Morandi's artifact in half a century (few knew that the work was named after him), nor how much rain has wetted the imposing structures since then. We don't accept, we will never recognize the hasty justification of these hours as valid. It will be Bar Sport indifference, but we know that Roman bridges have been standing for two millennia, and we don't believe in the inability of designers. But, in recent decades there have been many collapses, like tragedies due to neglect, to ignorance, to widespread corruption. Read More

Anti-fascism and eco-monsters: who was Riccardo Morandi, the designer of the Genoa bridge
by

Image results for richard morandiOf Nicola Mattei
Genova, 15 ago – What unites the Corviale snake in Rome, an attempt that started badly and ended worse to build a public housing "barracks" in Soviet style bridge over the Polcevera collapsed yesterday? A name, that of engineer Riccardo Morandi.
Born in Rome in 1902, he began his activity in the 1930s by experimenting - among the first in Italy - with the use of reinforced concrete and pre-stressed reinforced concrete. At the beginning of his career he designed churches and cinemas, and then specialized in the construction of bridges.
The skills in the field of reinforced concrete they are worth the call to the team that will design and build the Corviale, where Morandi will work alongside the architect Mario Fiorentino. The result is dramatic: almost a kilometre (e 11 floors in height) of a real city dormitory on the outskirts of the capital where the building boom of those years created eco-monsters destined to last and produce devastating effects. Applied social engineering will result in failure, managing to replicate for the worse all the distortions imported from the total and totalitarian planning that was experimented in the same period in the Soviet Union.
An ideological aspect, the latter, which cannot be overlooked. We are in the Italy of the conflict (also armed), in which remaining helpless in the face of political opposition is almost impossible. E Morandi had made his choice: “His family – writes Repubblica on the occasion of his death, er he 25 December of 1989 – they remember him as a man who always made a point of defending his independence from all powers, starting with the fascist one of which he was an opponent".
