The railway would remove
nearly 750 acres of Verdicchio.
Looking Towards Lake Garda
Lugana Region Lake Garda
Turbiana Vineyards
In other regions, this
would be a serious issue but not devastating. In the case of Lugana, since they
are so small and located in between a lake and a completely different region
(Lombardy), they don’t have any space to move. The vineyards would be lost forever.
The new tracks will cover
an area just a quarter of a mile away from the original tracks to accommodate a
high-speed connection that was originally planned to run from Kiev to Lisbon
when it was drafted in 1992. The project is truly impressive, having been
created just 4 years after the Berlin Wall fell, but recently several
countries, including Portugal, Spain and France, have backed out.
The consorzio of Lugana
made an effort. They crunched the numbers and figured out that if the new train
worked with the original rail line that the time cost might only be 4 minutes
more. They created a petition and appealed to the president and now we wait to
see what they decide.
