Geologists also warn that there is another problem. The idea of ​​building a tunnel “is engineering feasible”, but there is the problem of faults, explained Carlo Doglioni, president of Ingv, and Andrea Billi, of Cnr. The Strait, they recalled, is “crossed by the system of faults that generated the Messina earthquake in 1908 and that allow Calabria and Sicily to move away by one millimeter a year.” Engineers should therefore find a way to solve this problem. “It all depends on how the tunnel would be oriented”
