Landslides in Italy and Switzerland

Overview

Landslides in Italy and Switzerland have caused significant transportation disruptions. In Italy, a landslide on Via Diana, the road connecting Genzano di Roma with Lake Nemi, has led to further traffic limitations on the SP 79/b, impacting local economic activities and tourism near the Museum of Roman Ships.

In Switzerland, the Lavinone landslide necessitated the preventive closure of the cantonal road between Corticiasca and Scareglia, affecting the Capriasca and Val Colla regions. Technical assessments suggest that while the movement can be slowed, it cannot be stopped, requiring a structural solution that may take approximately two years to implement. To assist residents, the Canton and the City of Lugano have pledged to improve the municipal road between Signôra and Maglio di Colla as an alternative route.
