Calabria, the cliffside sea-view glass elevator project in Tropea gets the go-ahead
Published
Tropea, one of the most famous resorts in Calabria, could soon have a unique new attraction in Italy: an elevator with a glass cabin suspended over the sea. The project, called the "elevator to paradise", has been presented as a real novelty for the Costa degli Dei, the stretch of Tyrrhenian coast known for its beaches and clear waters.
The idea is not new. According to available information, the project dates back to the 1950s, when someone imagined a way to connect the town centre to the beach and the coast below without having to climb long staircases or steep roads. For many decades, however, the construction remained a dream, held back by bureaucratic and technical problems.
Now the situation seems to be changing. With the unblocking of the approval process, the panoramic cabin could finally become a reality and offer visitors a direct view of the sea from above. Those who use this type of structure can admire the landscape effortlessly, and the project could therefore become a tourist point of interest for the area.
For now, not all the details about construction times and costs are clear. Local authorities and project managers will have to complete the final stages before the opening to the public. For Italian readers interested in tourism and news from the South, the case of Tropea is an example of how an idea born more than seventy years ago can become relevant again.
