Ponte Cavour, Heritage stone bridge in Campo Marzio, Italy
Ponte Cavour spans the Tiber River with five masonry arches covered in travertine stone, connecting Piazza del Porto di Ripetta to Lungotevere dei Mellini.
Architect Angelo Vescovali designed this bridge, which opened on May 25, 1901, replacing the temporary iron walkway known as Passerella di Ripetta from 1878.
The bridge bears the name of Camillo Benso, Count of Cavour, the first Prime Minister of unified Italy and central figure in the independence movement.
The structure extends 110 meters in length and 20.5 meters in width, serving as a vital connection between the Campo Marzio and Prati districts of Rome.
Every January 1st, according to Roman tradition, swimmers leap from the bridge's parapet into the Tiber River to mark the start of the new year.
