Ponte Principe Amedeo Savoia Aosta, Road bridge and national heritage site in central Rome, Italy
The Ponte Principe Amedeo Savoia Aosta is a road bridge spanning the Tiber River in central Rome and linking different city neighborhoods. The structure features three brick arcades clad in white marble and crosses the river for a length of about 110 meters.
Construction of the bridge started in 1939 and was completed in 1942 as Rome needed new transportation routes across the Tiber. The project followed a design created by Rome's municipal administration and marked an important phase in the city's 20th-century infrastructure development.
The bridge carries the name of Prince Amedeo of Savoy-Aosta, an Italian royal figure from the early 20th century. This naming choice reflects Rome's historical ties to the Italian monarchy.
The bridge connects Lungotevere dei Sangallo to Piazza Della Rovere and provides a direct crossing of the Tiber for pedestrians and vehicles. The location is easily accessible from surrounding streets like Corso Vittorio Emanuele II.
Between the main arcades stand two single-lancet windows with rounded arches that give the structure a distinctive appearance. Two pillar-like structures divide the river into three sections and resemble ship forms.
