Motorway concessionary Autostrade
per l'Italia should put in the money but the government will
rebuild the Morandi Bridge in Genoa that collapsed killing 43 on
August 14, Transport Minister Danilo Toninelli said Tuesday.
"Let Autostrade put in the money, but we will rebuild the
bridge," Toninelli told Radio Anch'io.
He said it was "obvious" that Autostrade should be
responsible for the funding because it must compensate the
victims' families for the disaster.
"But it is just as obvious that it cannot rebuild the bridge.
It would be disrespectful towards the families and the
citizens", he said.
Toninelli has floated the idea of the State-controlled
Fincantieri shipyard building a new bridge.
