As an Italian, it's a wonderful project technically, but you will be hard pressed to find people in northern Italy that believe in it (can't speak for mid/lower). The tech challenges give it little credibility, but the mifias problems are really what makes it a non-starter for basically everyone here. The video shows one politician a couple of times, but he's one of the most unreliable ones (and Italians one in general are not that reliable). It's a political tool, many speculate it's just another big project that will never be completed, since it's a common historical pattern with heavy right-wing governments like the current one. Even though a lot of money has already been spent, it remains especially difficult to detach this project from its political side so don't hold breath, or hope.
