Total collapse of a provincial bridge near Amato (Calabria) on 22 November 2011 following severe hydraulic phenomena associated with flooding of the Cancello stream. No fatalities or injuries were reported. Database ponti fluviali danneggiati di D'Angelo, Ballio & Ravazzani (2025), IJDRR 'Geomorphologic risk factors for river bridges', suppl. S3, record P151 (accuratezza diagnosi dec=1): processo = erosione verticale (scour) + erosione laterale di sponda; componenti danneggiate = pile, spalle, rilevato di accesso, impalcato; evidenza di sormonto = no. [Il database Polimi (record P150, dec=1, erosione laterale, crollo totale) registra lo stesso ponte con anno 2010 anziche' 22/11/2011: verificare la data corretta dell'evento.]
