Episode Details

Eight years after the Morandi bridge collapse killed 43 people, including a newlywed family on vacation, victims’ families await a long-delayed verdict in a sprawling trial against 57 defendants — from Autostrade executives to engineers — accused of manslaughter and fraud over ignored safety warnings or flawed design. With hearings stretching nearly four years and some charges expiring, the case has become a symbol of Italy’s justice system struggles. Autostrade, now under new ownership, issued its first public apology, acknowledging past silence as a “further wound,” while settling separately with families for 30 million euros. A new bridge designed by Renzo Piano stands as a testament to resilience — but for grieving families, this verdict is their final chance for justice and closure.
