Italy is embarking on one of the boldest infrastructure projects in modern history — a $15 billion suspension bridge across the Strait of Messina, designed to connect Sicily with mainland Italy. If completed, it would not only become the longest suspension bridge in the world, but also a powerful symbol of national unity and engineering mastery.

This video dives into the full story: the ancient dreams, the seismic and environmental challenges, the cutting-edge engineering, and the political and economic stakes surrounding this megaproject. Supporters say it could revolutionize travel, boost trade, and create over 100,000 jobs. Critics warn of ecological damage, financial risks, and regional priorities. So, is this the future of Italian infrastructure — or just another expensive dream?
