NEW YORK – Nel giorno che commemora l’Indipendenza Usa, ha riaperto a New York la Statua della Libertà dopo i lavori di restauro per i danni causati dal passaggio su New York dell’uragano Sandy il 29 ottobre dello scorso anno.
La statua è rimasta aperta solo in questo giorno speciale per gli Stati Uniti, dopo un anno di lavori straordinari. In realtò, la statua simbolo di New York, non ha subito danni dall’uragano, ma la piccola isola su cui si trova, Liberty Island, è stata devastata così come la vicina Ellis Island, dove c’è il museo dell’immigrazione e che per il momento rimarrà ancora chiuso al pubblico.
