Vajont Dam disaster
A massive landslide entered the Vajont reservoir, generating waves that devastated downstream communities and killed approximately two thousand people. The dam and power plant had been transferred into Enel during the nationalization process. Enel and Montedison were prosecuted in subsequent proceedings and were ordered to pay damages; the disaster remains associated with failures of geological assessment, oversight, and corporate responsibility.
