Ponte della Pia, Medieval arch bridge in Sovicille, Italy.
The stone bridge spans across the Rosia stream with a single arch design constructed during the early thirteenth century near Siena.
The bridge formed part of the ancient Via Massetana, connecting Siena to Massa Marittima and remained intact during World War II German demolitions.
Local tales mention the bridge through Pia de' Tolomei, a character featured in Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy who appears in regional folklore.
Visitors can reach the bridge from highway 73 past Rosia, with a twenty-minute walking path leading to the medieval Santa Lucia hermitage.
The fifteenth-century Strada Manliana, an ancient paved road, extends beyond the bridge through the dense Tuscan woodland.
