Abstract

he Strait of Messina area is at the center of the political debate because of the issue related to the stable crossing, this being the most important work destined to play a central role on a global scale. This ignites the debate about an area characterized by infinite potential. The bridge, in addition to becoming the real link between Sicily and Calabria will connect the country with the rest of the south of the world. It is necessary to promote the identity of the overseas dialogue and indicate the direction of the development induced by the stable crossing, forming territorial coalitions, fostering the integration of resources for the development of some projects of common interest reconnecting to some strategic projects that are already started and thinking about new ways of participation with the actors involved on a voluntary basis. We need to look at what is and will be “under the bridge,” metaphorically, everything that seems to be in the background, but is not.
