A Stronger Constitution

By Linda Tancs

It seems that Italy’s newest Venetian bridge in 70 years is suffering post-inaugural trauma reminiscent of London’s Millenium Bridge. When Millenium first opened, engineering snafus caused embarrassing tilts and waves of the new-agey span. In Venice, the $8 million bridge named in honor of the country’s Constitution has some tourists seeing double and tripping over themselves, allegedly over the disturbing optical effects of the sectioned stone and glass floorings. Others fear that the banks of the Grand Canal can’t support the latest juggernaut. Does Italy need a stronger Constitution?
