Premier Italy: administrator bridge responsible

The manager of the Italian motorway A10 along which the crucial bridge in Genoa collapsed, is responsible for the disaster.

According to him there is no doubt about that, because that responsibility is laid down in the agreements with which the company Autostrade per l'Italia operates the motorways. Conte therefore, according to Italian media, does not want to wait for an investigation into the Morandi bridge, but take action quickly against Autostrade d'Italia. According to its Ministers of the Interior and of Transport, the concession granted to Autostrade d'Italia is withdrawn.

Autostrade d'Italia motorway manager is part of the Atlantia infrastructure group. This is dominated by the Benetton family of entrepreneurs. Their fashion company also joined the business of motorways in Italy twenty years ago, which were imposed on private companies in 1999.
