Passerella dell'Isolotto, Pedestrian bridge in Florence, Italy
Description
The Passerella dell'Isolotto is a concrete pedestrian bridge that spans the Arno River, connecting the Isolotto neighborhood with Cascine Park. The structure is 3.5 meters wide and accommodates both pedestrians and small vehicles such as mopeds and motorcycles.
History
The bridge was built in 1962 and opened in 1963 as a new crossing over the Arno River. It ranks among the newer additions to Florence's collection of river bridges and represents mid-20th century engineering in the city.
