On October 18, the president of the Autonomous Province of Trento, **Maurizio Fugatti**, participated in the breakthrough of the exploratory tunnel of the **Brenner Tunnel**, an event deemed historic for both Italy and Austria. During the ceremony, which was attended by prominent political figures such as Prime Minister **Giorgia Meloni** and Austrian Chancellor **Christian Stocker**, Fugatti emphasized the significance of this strategic project for **sustainable mobility**, highlighting its positive impact on the Alpine regions and cross-border cooperation. The tunnel, measuring 57.5 kilometers in length, will facilitate rail connections between Northern and Southern Europe.
