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.
