Ponte Punta Penna Pizzone

The Punta Penna Pizzone bridge extends 1909 meters across the Mar Piccolo, connecting the peripheral areas of Taranto through a concrete structure.

The bridge, opened on July 30, 1977, received its current name in 2008 to commemorate Italian statesman Aldo Moro, who was killed in 1978.

The structure represents a major engineering achievement in southern Italy, forming part of the national heritage and connecting different sections of Taranto.

Rising 45 meters above sea level, the bridge provides an alternative route during the opening procedures of the Swing Bridge in Taranto.

The bridge stands at a natural narrowing point where two bays of the Mar Piccolo meet, creating an essential transportation link for the region.
