Genoa Morandi Bridge replacement and aftermath

Overview

Following the collapse of the Morandi viaduct in August 2018, the new San Giorgio bridge in Genoa was inaugurated in August 2020. Designed by Renzo Piano and constructed by a consortium including Salini Impregilo and Fincantieri, the 1,067-meter structure opened to traffic after a 15-month construction period.

Subsequent commemorations and reflections on the disaster have included cultural events, such as a photography exhibition at Genoa's Palazzo Ducale. The exhibition features works capturing the wreckage of the Morandi Bridge, examining the physical remains of the structure and the socio-economic implications of the collapse.
