Frammenti di vita all’ombra del Ponte: Storia di una strage annunciata

The collapse of the Morandi Bridge, a crucial industrial hub for the national economy, exposed deep systemic weaknesses, creating feelings of loss and disorientation within the lo-cal community. This research, based on disaster sociology, focuses on the residents of Via Porro, the area most directly affected. Here, the disaster’s effects are multifaceted and com-plex, marked by empowerment processes and emerging conflicts, accentuated by a zone clas-sification system. Management inefficiencies and institutional control strategies have exacer-bated existing inequalities and vulnerabilities, creating tangible and intangible boundaries that divide destinies and leave unhealable wounds. Politically, the urgency of physical reconstruc-tion has not been matched by a parallel social regeneration strategy, leaving the needs of a severely impacted community unmet.
