A symbol of neglect and tragedy. And of itto a new much ecto are sisters who lived under the more and the bridge and though they are grateful to have survived the collapse the road to rebuilding in general has been painful the sisters have to come to terms with their new lives as the past is demolished right before their eyes. Not reach the charcoal has lived near the rocky bridge for most of her life she says seeing the last few pillars disappear didnt bother her it was more of a spectacle but now she has to watch as the house she lived in for nearly 60 years is demolished only pieces of the 1st floor remain the same the strong will they may at least. You can hear the day because and the jack imus working away. The sound is terrible. That affects you more than watching it. And im rita and her sister meanwhile were lucky they own a flat in the center of genoa and were able to move there its smaller than their home near the bridge but they had to leave a lot of their belongings behind anyway they were only permitted to return to their old home accompanied by officials a few times it lies directly under the bridge which at that stage was in danger of collapsing. And i. Always felt like grave robbers because there was no sign of life there anymore its an awful feeling when you dont recognize your own home you know vehicle most in some ways going back was part of the process of letting go. So memories are painful for the 2 sisters but not all of them there were light moments among all the drama. That you will find. Funny when one of the firemen the one with the pasta opened a drawer and found some noodles from a good brand and he said youre leaving them here we said tad theyre just noodles. And he said that theyre noodles from money santa we stuff theyre good for another year. You can make some getting but. I said ok ok take them. A sense of humor can help when times are tough but not for more. He was allowed to revisit his home just for a few minutes it was all too much for him. My heart was racing it was in my throat. Fear it was turning to shit panic. And then i thought. I have to stop otherwise ill have a heart attack need. Marco was in his flat when the bridge collapsed he ran for his life the memory still haunts him today. With the spin and sun fall in the midst of all the panic when youre fleeing. And you hope its all just a bad dream. A night then something that will disappear in a moment and everything will be like it was before. But nothing is as it was before marco has been temporarily allocated a small flat by city authorities all 270 families who live near the bridge have been really how the market has also been paid compensation for his old flat but money will never replace the feeling of home made for them but i think they always feel a bit like how should i put this i just wish theyd think of us as a bit more than im in number. Book you know people dont know why did she call me maybe. The courts are currently debating who is responsible for the disaster local authorities or the private company in charge of the motorways the out of strada pal italia in a case that will probably last years the Motorway Company is currently refusing requests for interviews. Gena was vice mayor is keen to point out all the work that has already been done but he avoids answering the questions of who is responsible. A i only consider certain things. It was a catastrophe or something didnt want to know but i cant judge what happened technically the judge has to find answers with the help of engineers who understand these things a lot more good and. A lot of that is passed in the meantime traffic is rolling again but infrastructure is in bad shape in many places around the country the bridge which is now being used to redirect traffic to church i know rita i mean as Old Neighborhood has also seen better days volunteers at the committee that campaigns for victims of the disaster near weeks after the bridge collapsed i was distraught to try to divide those affected. What saved us was that we all said no. We showed that we were united and that we werent for sale. And that gave us power in negotiations and it was dangerous for the other side. For the victims it was a good lesson to learn that theres power in unity but they will still never get their old lives back.
