The bridge he was driving across, a viaduct designed by Riccardo Morandi, collapsed that day, Aug. 14, leaving 43 people dead as dozens of cars fell some 150 feet onto the riverbed, railroad tracks and gritty streets below.
The collapse of the bridge — a signature of the port city, a source of deep civic pride, and an indispensable daily transportation link for thousands — has scarred Genoa and set off a bitter debate in Italy about who bears responsibility for the disaster and precisely what caused it.
Those questions remain under investigation by the chief magistrate of the region, Francesco Cozzi, and a team of engineers, security and government officials.
