Thanks for the ping, GC. I've not been to Sicily, but this bridge idea really doesn't seem that smart. As the article pointed out, this is earthquake area, at least on the boot side it is, so it's probably just as well the whole thing is nixed.

Can't find a dedcent picture of the town in which I was born, which is in the dead center of the country, between Rome and Naples, but here's a picture of a town very nearby, and nearly identical.
