Genoa Mayor Marco Bucci
compared the ruins of the collapsed Morandi bridge to New York's
Ground Zero on Friday, a month to the day after the disaster in
which 43 people died.
"The collapse of the Morandi was a terrible tragedy for us
Genoese," Bucci said before a minute's silence for the victims.
"Like Ground Zero for New York, a city that was capable of
emerging from disaster very well.
"We want to do the same thing.
"Genoa is not on its knees.
"Today we remember the victims and we think about
reconstruction to emerge from the tragedy with a city that is
stronger and greater than before".
