Ponte Vittorio Emanuele I, Stone bridge over Po River in Turin, Italy
The Ponte Vittorio Emanuele I extends 150 meters across the Po River with five granite arches connecting central Turin to the Borgo Po district.
French engineer Claude-Yves La Ramée Pertinchamp designed the bridge in 1808, and construction was completed in 1813 during Napoleon's occupation of Turin.
The bridge links the administrative center of Turin with the Gran Madre di Dio church, representing a central point for city gatherings and celebrations.
Pedestrians and vehicles share access to the bridge, which maintains its original stone structure while accommodating modern transportation needs with tram lines.
During construction, workers placed 88 commemorative coins from Napoleon's military campaigns and a silver ingot in the central column's foundation.
