Rome as Beirut: "But we die on the street because of the holes"

Luca Tosi Brandi on Wednesday 12 December, having greeted his girlfriend and professors, gets on the saddle of his Yamaha R125, takes via di Labaro to North Rome, to meet his death. Witnesses saw him skid over some holes and depressions just before the 125 street.

A 45-year-old caregiver, eyewitness, said: "He zigzagged, couldn't regain his balance, dodged to avoid him then hit a wall".

Now, also on the basis of that testimony, writes the Messenger, the prosecutor Erminio Amelio, has accepted the request of the super-consultant in charge of the expertise, the same engineer chosen by the Prosecutor's Office for the case of Elena Aubry, the 25-year-old who died on May 6, 2018 in a photocopy accident on Via Ostiense, to further extend the investigations.

Responsible for so many deaths are the bumps and roots of the trees that the Prosecutor also wanted to detect with a 3D reproduction of the dynamics, in the case of Elena before and now of Luca.

The drama of the streets of the capital are the chasms and hollows created by the roots of the trees and never repaired or simply patched up. Tenders are blocked because the committees are unable to meet or due to red tape. For this reason, the Capitol manages to carry out just 20 percent of the planned works every year. A kind of curse, because in the meantime, people continue to die on the streets of Rome.

On the other side of Rome, too, it's the same story. Noemi Carrozza, 21 years old, champion of synchronized swimming, died in June last year, on a motorcycle, on the Via Cristoforo Colombo. Not too far from the point where Luca Miozzi, a 17-year-old high school student, fell due to bumps and roots from his motorcycle, under the eyes of his father who was following him in the car. There is no mention of work on the Cristoforo Colombo: the only measure was to lower the speed limits and fill it with speed cameras.
