RE: From Ovada until Nice - do you know how many tunnels there are?

We always say that the infrastructure in Italy is great, as where it can be done there is a tunnel of a viaduct!

But also, always lavori on the roads to improve and maintain the roads ;)

Sort:  

This is true: if it is possible we Italians, we certainly achieve it... Unfortunately, however, everything brilliant that we create, we do not manage and maintain as we should.
The most striking example is the problem of the Morandi Bridge, which collapsed due to poor maintenance.

I remember it. Well, I remember the news as we had to pass by Ganoa, just a few days after the sad incident. Because of that, I don't complain anymore about "lavori", as I know roads have to receive maintenance.

An interesting point: don't complain about the work because it is routine to keep the streets tidy!
We Italians are an extremely hectic people (as well as, at times, uncontactable) and so "wasting" time on highway slowdowns is seen as a "sacrilege" an affront to one's time (a true form of selfishness).
