message: I see an editor questions the statement that many Sicilians lack running water. Come on! It doesn't take long to find out the sad state of the Sicilian aqueducts. You don't have to be in Africa to live in the Third World. Just go for a wander around Washington DC one winter morning and count the homeless living in the snow on park benches, national monuments and bus shelters. --Jumbo 21:54, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, I don't think that there is a town in Sicily were you don't have running water. What happens if there is a dry winter/spring is described on the page you linked to. So you may have water shortage in summer time with alternating water supply, but there have been improvements in water supply after the last very dry summer (maybe the one cited on the link you gave). --Trifi 11:37, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Nevertheless, that is a source for towns without running water. Having water once every twenty days is very Third World, wouldn't you say? And, as I pointed out, just because a nation has high standards of living for some, doesn't mean that all enjoy the same standards. --Jumbo 16:55, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Berlusconi still wants it built?

message: According to a recent video  (min 1:27-1:46) released by the Italian newspaper "La Repubblica", the bridge is no longer part of the Line 1 of Trans-European Transport Networks (TEN-T): "Brussels has deleted the bridge changing the European big infrastructures geography. EU commission has redesigned the communication axes substituting the Berlin-Palermo corridor with Helsinki-Valletta, hence practically deleting from its strategic plans the work between Sicily and Calabria."
The 9th of September 2011 Italian Transports Minister Altero Matteoli has sent a letter to EU Commission Vice President Siim Kallas asking for the inclusion of the corridor Berlin-Palermo into the Helsinki-Valletta [from the Italian Infrastructures and Transports official web site]
