Agrigento Capitale della Cultura, asfalto anche sui tombini per rifare le strade: ora li "cercano" con il metaldetector La fretta ha giocato brutti scherzi agli operai che hanno rifatto il manto stradale per l'arrivo del presidente Mattarella e delle altre autorità

The day before President Mattarella's visit to Agrigento, Italy's City of Culture 2025, the council realised they hadn't resurfaced the badly potholed roads he'd use. They found €500k & got the work done in 24h. Now, they're using metal detectors to look for manhole covers that were tarmacked over.
