Transport Minister Graziano Delrio
on Monday paid tribute to ANSA's book on the new Turin-Lyon TAV
rail line.
"It is a valued work," Delrio said in Turin at the
presentation of the book, produced with TELT (Tunnel Euroalpin
Lyon Turin), the company commissioned to build and manage the
new rail line.
"It is an example of transparent communication of objective
data," he added, referring to book titled 'Torino-Lione
1990-2016' (Turin-Lyon 1990-2016).
The book is split into seven chapters featuring photos, news
agency items and the front pages of newspapers telling the story
of the first 26 years in the life of infrastructure project.
"This book is the first historization of the stories that
accompanied three ideas at the basis of the Turin-Lyon - unite
France and Italy to contribute to the creation of Europe, revive
rail to save the Alps from road traffic and build a base tunnel
because trains are inly competitive if they travel on level
ground," said TELT General Manager Mario Virano.
ANSA Editor-in-chief Luigi Contu said the 120-page volume
"covers the evolution of a project that matured over 20 years of
assessments, processing and preliminary works while this is
being translated into work sites".
