Genoa, 3 August 2020 - The new bridge replaces the Morandi Bridge that collapsed on 14 August 2018. The names of the 43 victims of the tragic incident were read aloud, followed by a minute of silence and the sound of the horns of the ships docked in the Port of Genoa. In his speech, the Genoa-born iconic architect, Renzo Piano, who donated his design for the new bridge, associated the longitudinal profile of the bridge with the image of a ship moored in the heart of the Polcevera Valley, a symbol of resilience, illuminated by 43 lights in memory of the innocent victims.
