Testimonies and memories of the men who worked on the Tunnel
Memories of the Gran Sasso. A series of videos in which the forgotten protagonists of a great work speak. Those men who worked for years in the bowels of the Gran Sasso. With their work and their hands they created one of Italy’s greatest works. Their testimonies, charged with emotion, including the memory of those comrades who did not make it, gives us back a piece of our country’s history.
“Roads in addition to work bring culture.”. A unique work that marked the change of an entire region. “Most of the people who live in the area have the Tunnel in their history.”. The efforts, men, resources and means used in the past for the construction of the Gran Sasso Tunnel still bring their result today, making this tunnel one of the main routes for motorists and transporters who daily travel through Lazio and Abruzzo.
A work of fundamental importance for Abruzzo, because until then the only way to reach Rome from the coast was the winding Tiburtina Valeria.
The 10,175-meter tunnel through the Gran Sasso is the longest twin-tube highway tunnel in Europe.
