words Matteo Renzi put a seal final-old controversy over the construction of the bridge that would connect the Sicily to Calabria and, thus, to the rest of Italy. Under the Berlusconi government the project had been contracted (2005) but to economic and political problems was then revoked in 2013.
And ‘since the time of the Romans that caresses ‘fantaprogetto’ to connect the Sicily and the mainland over the centuries have been put forward hypotheses and design in every historical epoch, by the Bourbons until the second World war, but every initiative It has always had to come with difficulties geophysical and structural properties of that stretch of sea characterized by strong currents and geological instability.
bridge if realized, would be the largest in the world, with a single span of 3,300 meters : in fact, today the longest suspension bridge in the world is in the Japan to Akashi Koikyo, and has the single span of 1,991 meters . Today’s technology allows, however, a more rosy perspective of realization; the obstacle is “ the serious infrastructure gap of Sicily and Calabria” , as recently reaffirmed President of the Sicily Region Crocetta.
It would take more than 50 billion euro only to strengthen and make the appropriate structures of these two regions. At this refers to the Premier Renzi when he says that, before thinking about the bridge over the Strait, you have to fix the roads and railways of the two regions concerned. The Salerno – Reggio Calabria is not yet complete in its 4-lane structure and high speed is nonexistent from Salerno down.
only when these two great rocks will be overcome you can start talking about the construction of the bridge which, as stated Renzi, “ you will, but only after proceeded to make it really accessible the motorway and railway network in Sicily, Calabria and Campania . “

Needless to then talk about great works at random, if there are no structural requirements for them.
