NEWS FROM GENOA
Many of you will have heard about the tragic incident that Genoa has been living through these past few weeks with the collapse of a section of the Morandi bridge. This is naturally a very hard time, first and foremost for the families of the victims, but also for the people and City of Genoa.
We would like to reassure the ISSAID community that the City of Genoa is nevertheless concentrating efforts into ensuring that the city can continue to function with as little disruption as possible. At this time, road users in the area may experience some delays in specific areas. The Municipality is working on this problem and realistically, these delays will be eased over the coming months.
We are really looking forward to seeing all of you in Genoa next spring!
