Bridge over Rio Ciliegio
Total collapse of a cycle-pedestrian bridge over the Rio Ciliegio near Trasta, a fraction of Genova (Liguria) on 10 November 2014, triggered by the major flash flood that struck the Genova area — the second catastrophic alluvione in three years after the deadly 2011 event. The Rio Ciliegio is a minor stream in the Genova hinterland that overflowed during the event, which caused 1 death and widespread infrastructure damage across the city. No fatalities directly attributed to this specific collapse. Database ponti fluviali danneggiati di D'Angelo, Ballio & Ravazzani (2025), IJDRR 'Geomorphologic risk factors for river bridges', suppl. S3, record P079 (accuratezza diagnosi dec=0.5): processo = carico idraulico sulla struttura; componenti danneggiate = pile, spalle, impalcato; evidenza di sormonto = ?.
