Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni attended a landmark ceremony at the Plessi Museum, located at the Brenner Pass, to commemorate the cross-border breakthrough of the exploratory tunnel connecting Italy and Austria. This event marks a major step forward in the construction of the Brenner Base Tunnel, set to become one of Europe’s longest underground rail links.

The breakthrough symbolizes not only engineering achievement but also deepening European cooperation in sustainable infrastructure and cross-border mobility. The tunnel aims to streamline freight and passenger transport across the Alps, reducing environmental impact and boosting regional connectivity.
