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.
