"An event was discussed a lot. To tell the truth, it is still discussed today: the construction in the early 1960s of the Genoa Elevated Road, along the entire port arch, which became sadly famous for its paradoxical ability to hide the medieval city below , but at the same time to enhance the presence of the buildings from above. The elevated road became an emergency due to the continuous increase in city traffic. The municipal administration was almost forced to intervene as quickly as possible. It is clear that the structure is very open to criticism from an architectural point of view and the overlap in an artistic port context of the entire harbor. However, after many years, the route of the flyover has proven to be efficient and still partially resolves sea traffic. Controversies still arise today, the pros and cons are discussed, but it remains a fundamental 6 kilometer artery. For supporters of its demolition, only two opportunities remain: either an underground tunnel or a high bridge over the port. (pp. 48-49)"
