ROME (Reuters) - The top two officials of toll-road company Autostrade per l’Italia, which operated the bridge that collapsed near Genoa, are resisting government calls to resign over the disaster, a source familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.

Earlier, Italy’s transport minister called for the company’s top management to quit and said its concession should be revoked after an 80-metre-long section of the bridge collapsed in heavy rain on Tuesday, killing at least 39 people.
