	On 14th August 2018, the Morandi motorway bridge in Genoa, Italy, collapsed during a torrential rainstorm. The death toll is thought to be 43, with several more injured, and a rescue operation comprising several hundred firefighters trying to locate people still thought to be missing. More than 400 people have been evacuated from the area.		On 14th August 2018, the Morandi motorway bridge in Genoa, Italy, collapsed during a torrential rainstorm.

	The Italian government quickly blamed Autostrade, the operator of the bridge, moving to strip its concession and calling for resignations. In 2011, Autostrade warned that; “queues of cars and the volume of traffic provoke intense degradation of the bridge structure on a daily basis in rush hour, as it is subject to major demands”. Transport Minister Danilo Toninelli said; “I have given mandate to my ministry to start all proceedings ... to revoke the concession from these companies and seek significant sanctions”. Meanwhile, the Genoa Public Prosecutor’s Office has opened an investigation into the possibility of negligent homicide.

	On 17 August, Giuseppe Conte announced that the government had; "...formally sent to Autostrade per l'Italia the letter of complaint which launches the process for revoking the concession", stating that they had failed in their obligation to look after the ordinary and extraordinary maintenance of the motorway, a charge which Autostrade strongly deny.

−	The collapse calls into question the condition of much of Italy’s infrastructure. Settimo Martinello, director of 4EMME Service, which carries out checks on 50,000 bridges in Italy told CNN; "All Italian bridges made of concrete between the 1950s and 1960s have come to the end of their life... While a collapse like the one in Genoa is quite rare, there are about 15 to 20 bridges collapsing every year in the country".
