The governments of Conte, Draghi, and Meloni will be regarded as the architects of the biggest infrastructure investment in the history of a unified Italy, thanks to European funds. The research department of the Chamber of Deputies has offered some statistics. The overall cost of the 274 strategic and priority infrastructures is €448 billion, with 70% currently in place. Rail and road networks will get €308 billion in upgrades, while subways, tramways, ports, airports, bike lanes, and the Bridge across the Strait will receive €91 billion. €12 billion will be spent on the Venice Mose, water infrastructure, and public housing. The number of works in progress grew by 34% and those finished by 4% when compared to May 2022. In cities, numerous constructions will change the quality of existence. The Termini-Vaticano-Aurelio tramway in Rome was meant to handle 3-4 thousand passengers per hour. Florence is investing €350 million on two new lines totaling 12 kilometers. Brescia, with the new convoys that will link the Pendolina district to the Fair, Padua, with its 36 stations and 18 kilometers of Sir2 tramway, and Bologna, with its 22 kilometers of Red and Green lines, are additional destinations to consider. Large cities like as Milan, Turin, and Naples are contemplating extensive upgrades to their metro, trolleybus, and tram systems. Genoa invests €545 million to construct the Corvetto metro station and upgrade the trolleybus lines. Little is spoken about it, but Italy is gradually recreating itself.
