Verdict Due in Trial Over 2018 Bridge Collapse in Italy That Killed Dozens The trial of the 2018 Genoa bridge collapse has been a long and winding road, but Thursday marks a crucial milestone: the delivery of verdicts in one of Italy's most devastating disasters.
The courtroom will be packed with family members of the 43 people who lost their lives when the Morandi highway bridge gave way during a rainstorm on August 14, 2018.
The collapse exposed deep failures in Italy's infrastructure maintenance, with prosecutors arguing that years of deliberate neglect led to the disaster.
