Ponte Giovanni da Verrazzano, Modern bridge in Florence, Italy
Description
The Ponte Giovanni da Verrazzano is a modern bridge crossing the Arno River in Florence, constructed from steel and reinforced concrete. It links different neighborhoods and allows both vehicles and pedestrians to cross the river.
History
The bridge was completed in 1980 and became an important addition to Florence's infrastructure system. It was designed by renowned architect Leonardo Savioli.
Culture
The bridge serves as an example of late 20th-century Italian engineering, combining steel and reinforced concrete in its structural composition.
Practical
The bridge is easily accessible on foot or by car and has clear pathways for both users. Early morning or late afternoon hours offer the best experience when traffic is lighter.
Did you know?
The structure features a 113-meter main span, making it a technical example that demonstrates the city's modern flow across the river. This span length allowed the Arno to be crossed without additional support columns in the water.
