About

Claudia Possetti was one of the 43 victims of the tragic 2018 collapse of the Morandi bridge in Genoa, Italy. On August 14, 2018, she was traveling with her newlywed husband, Andrea, and her two children, aged 12 and 16, heading for a holiday on the Italian Riviera. Their car was on the viaduct when it catastrophically failed, plunging them to their deaths onto the railway tracks below. The recent news focuses on the convictions of former officials of the Italian motorway operator, Autostrade per l’Italia (Aspi), including its former chief executive Giovanni Castellucci, who received a 12-year sentence. While the legal proceedings address the accountability of those responsible for the disaster, Claudia Possetti's story represents the human cost of the tragedy, highlighting the devastating impact on families who lost loved ones.
