Ponte della Musica

Ponte della Musica is a steel and concrete bridge stretching 190 meters across the Tiber, defined by two tilted arches without horizontal supports above the roadway. It features a central asphalt lane for bicycles and public transport, with wooden-planked side paths for pedestrian use.

Construction was completed in 2011 following an international competition from 2000 won by London-based Buro Happold Engineering and architects Kit Powell-Williams. In 2013, it received its full name honoring the late Roman composer Armando Trovajoli.

The bridge links the Flaminio cultural quarter with its museums and the Auditorium Parco della Musica to the Foro Italico sports complex on the opposite riverbank. It has become a regular passage for people moving between these institutions.

The pathways are clear: the center is reserved for bicycles and buses, while pedestrians use the side wooden paths. It is easy to understand the layout and know where to walk.

The two tilted arches were designed to visually interlace with each other, appearing like a spiral from certain angles. This architectural detail is not immediately obvious but becomes apparent when viewing the bridge from different perspectives.
