The “no” front now has an unexpected pop icon: Nino Frassica officials its position on the bridge over the Strait on social networks. And he does it clearly, citing one of the historical “enemies” of the work, the geologist Mario Tozzi. “In the world, a single -span bridge has never been built longer than Akashi (1.99 km, Japan): that of Messina will be long (almost, editor’s note) double (3.3 km ed) and still does not understand well using what materials. The bridge is seen as useful as much as you move away from the place. The opinion of the geologist and television presenter Mario Tozzi on the bridge leaves no room for interpretations “, writes the Messina actor on his FB page, then relaunching a long consideration of Tozzi himself on the bridge.
On the contrary, an endorsement, which triggers the reactions of the web, including that of the League senator Nino Germanà, among the main sponsors of the work: «Dear Nino, who reminds the Rema bridge against a more united Italy and a South finally protagonist of the development. And who ignores the positive sides of this work, perhaps does not really like his land. From Messinesi we know the daily limits of connections on the strait: the bridge means work, modernity and territorial continuity. Not to mention the enormous tourist flow that would generate, as is the case for all the large bridges in the world, transforming the Strait into an international symbol of progress. The bridge is not a utopia, but a great opportunity for growth, work and modernity for our territory. I respect your thoughts but I don’t share it. Forget Tozzi who only looks for that visibility you don’t need, because we know how big you are! ». (Seb.Casp.)
