| Abstract: |
In this article it is analyzed, in the scenario of the present time engineering knowledge and of next future time transport opportunities, the possibility, more times assumed in past, to realize a railway link between Europe and Africa through the Channel of Sicily. The performances of this infrastructure are examined by a technical and economic point of view. Socio-political transformations deriving from the presence of one similar infrastructure in the context of the European and Mediterranean transports are examined. |
