For over two thousand years, the dream of connecting Sicily to mainland Italy with a bridge has captivated politicians and engineers alike—from the Romans to Berlusconi and Salvini. Now, with a target date this summer, the project faces mounting skepticism: it would be the world’s longest suspension bridge, but no existing tech can test its massive cables, and the seismically active Strait of Messina poses a catastrophic risk. Corruption probes, environmental concerns, and questionable cost estimates add to the chaos, while residents face demolition and uncertainty. Proponents tout economic gains, but critics argue the money should go to fixing Sicily’s crumbling infrastructure instead.
