Why Fubini (Corriere della Sera) asphalts Caltagirone and Salini-Webuild

The editorialist of Corriere della Sera, Federico Fubini, criticizes the Vianini groups of Caltagirone and Webuild (formerly Salini Impregilo) on social media for the Metro C construction sites being stopped overnight

For the past four months, Romans have resigned themselves to a further dose of traffic, brought as a gift from the Metro C construction sites, which have finally arrived in the heart of the capital. The new station will have three entrances and will be located in the center of the square between the Vittoriano, Palazzo Venezia, Trajan's Forum, the Palazzo delle Assicurazioni Generali, the Church of Santa Maria di Loreto. According to the announcements, it will host an exhibition that will allow public transport users to observe the findings that will almost certainly emerge during the excavations for the construction of the work. In short, work is in full swing in Rome, or not?

WHAT FUBINI SAYS ABOUT METRO C CONSTRUCTION SITE: CALTAGIRONE AND WEBUILD IN THE SIGHTS

The Corriere della Sera journalist Federico Fubini, leading editorialist and signature of the RCS newspaper, is not entirely convinced and, putting himself in the role of the reporter, entrusts his testimony to X (formerly Twitter): "Piazza Venezia, the construction site of the metro which is paralyzing Rome's traffic: Caltagirone and WeBuild have a €750m contract to keep the construction site open 24 hours and thus reduce inconvenience. But at 10.30pm today… the construction site is sleeping." Then he adds evocative hashtags like Gualtieri wake up .

Attached to your post are night photos of a truly sleepy construction site, where there doesn't seem to be a living soul. At the moment there are no official responses from those managing the works financed with 2 billion euros from the Infrastructure Department. The deadline for the works, moreover, leads us to take it with seraphic calm: the last construction site will be closed in ten years, even if the mayor Roberto Gualtieri promised on 22 June last, at the start of the excavations in Porta Venezia: " We will do everything to make it happen sooner." Given his past, it's hard to believe him.

THE ROADMAP OF THE ROMAN METRO

The roadmap provides that within fourteen months, i.e. December 2024, the Metronia and Fori Imperiali stations must be ready, with the start of passenger transport in March 2025. Also for this reason, work has started at the same time on the entire C line , up to in Farnesina.

Rome, as we know, was not built in a day and if we consider that even in industrious Milan, home of the Corriere della Sera , only for a few months has it been possible to reach the airport from the city center on the famous line that was supposed to bring visitors foreigners directly to Expo 2015 , it means that we are exactly on schedule. Italic times.
