Ponte delle Sirenette, Iron footbridge in Parco Sempione, Milan, Italy.

The Ponte delle Sirenette spans a lake section in Parco Sempione, featuring four cast iron mermaid statues holding oars at its corners.

Francesco Tettamanzi designed this bridge in 1842 for the Naviglio della Martesana canal before its relocation to Parco Sempione in 1930.

The four mermaid statues, known as Ghisini Sisters, became a symbol for local couples who touch them for good fortune in their relationships.

Located within Parco Sempione, the bridge connects two sides of an artificial lake and serves as a crossing point for park visitors.

The bridge exemplifies early 19th-century cast iron craftsmanship through its four detailed mermaid statues created by Benedetto Cacciatori.
