Ponte di Mezzo

The 89-meter long reinforced concrete bridge spans the Arno River with a single 72-meter arch, featuring white Verona stone on its sides.

After the previous bridge was destroyed in 1944 during World War II, the current structure was built in 1950 following a public referendum on its design.

The bridge hosts the Gioco del Ponte competition each June, where teams from northern and southern Pisa compete to push a heavy cart across the structure.

The structure connects Piazza Garibaldi in the north to Piazza XX Settembre in the south, serving as a central crossing point for pedestrians and vehicles.

The bridge stands 12.5 meters above the Arno River, marking the exact point where the city divides into its northern and southern districts.
