Ponte Aleardi

Ponte Aleardi is a reinforced concrete bridge spanning the Adige River in Verona, linking the central city area with the monumental cemetery district. The structure stretches across the water to provide a direct passage between these two significant zones.

Construction started in 1937 to replace an older metal bridge, but World War II interrupted the work. The project resumed in 1949 and was completed as this concrete structure.

The bridge received its name from Aleardo Aleardi, an Italian poet and patriot who contributed to the cultural heritage of Verona.

The crossing is accessible to pedestrians and allows vehicles to pass between both sides of the river. The structure offers a direct route for anyone traveling between the city center and the cemetery zone.

This bridge marks the final reinforced concrete bridge construction project in Verona, representing a transition in engineering methods.
