[en] The anemometric mesurements recorded for more than one year on two 232 m high towers supporting the power lines crossing the strait of Messina are analysed. The results indicate several meteo-climatic characteristics of considerable interest in the construction of the bridge over the strait. It is apparent that: 1) the sorrounding orography, although several km from the point of measurement, located on the north side of the strait, plays the main role in determining wind distribution, from ground level up to a height of several hundred metres. 2) Two of these (210 and 230 degrees) display velocity distribution of specific interest for the construction of the bridge. 3) The wind blowing up the strait (210 degrees) is the strongest in all seasons; it has a logarithmic vertical profile, low turbulence and for the same altitude maintains a constant ratio between vertical velocity (always ascending) and horizontal velocity. 4) The NW wind is more turbulent, has a nonlogaritmic profile and also has a constant ratio between horizontal and vertical velocity
