(ANSA) - Rome, August 14 - Premier Giuseppe Conte will go to Genoa later on Tuesday after a highway bridge collapsed in the northern city, taking many lives.
    Conte will also spend Wednesday in Genoa, premier office sources said. Transport and Infrastructure Minister Danilo Toninelli on Monday described the collapse of a motorway viaduct in Genoa as an "inhuman tragedy". "I am following what has happened in Genoa with maximum apprehension, which looks like being an inhuman tragedy," Toninelli said via Twitter. "We are in close contact with the highways agency and we are going to the scene with deputy minister Rixi. "My total support and the moment is with the city".
    Interior Minister Matteo Salvini on Tuesday pledged that the people to blame for the Genoa-bridge-collapse diaster would be found. "Thank you to the hundreds of professionals and volunteers who have been engaged for hours in the rescue and a prayer for the victims and their families," Salvini said on Facebook.
"We will go all the way to establish the responsibility for this inhuman disaster".
