I thought this was a done deal. Maybe it's for the best.

I thought it was a done deal too. I guess Prodi doesn't get many votes in Sicily. I always thought it was kind of a swing region, though.

There were also fears that the bridge, some 4km (2.5 miles) in length, would not be capable of withstanding an earthquake. I know nothing about bridges, but the Mackinac Bridge is about 5 miles long. And San Francisco has bridges that have withstood earthquakes. So why is this bridge such a big deal? I didn't even realize the island was that close to the mainland.

This puts me in mind of a rather racist joke that Italians like to tell about Sicillians, but you will have to freepmail me to hear it.
