Ponte del Risorgimento
Ponte del Risorgimento, Reinforced concrete bridge in Rome, Italy
Ponte del Risorgimento is a 159-meter reinforced concrete arch bridge crossing the Tiber River, linking Piazzale delle Belle Arti to Piazza Monte Grappa. The structure relies on a single large arch span that carries road traffic over this important section of the river.
The bridge opened in 1911, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of Italian unification. It was the first reinforced concrete arch bridge constructed in Rome, establishing new standards for bridge engineering in the city.
The two inscriptions on the bridge walls document its opening and technical details, showing the role this structure played in Rome's development as Italy's capital. You can notice these carved records while crossing and observing the river below.
The bridge carries significant traffic as a main vehicular route through the city, especially during peak hours. Walking across is best done when traffic is lighter, allowing you to enjoy views of the river and surrounding areas more comfortably.
Engineer Giovanni Porcheddu demonstrated the bridge's strength in an unconventional way by positioning himself and his children in a boat beneath the structure during scaffolding removal. This bold test showed his confidence in the innovative concrete construction method.
