Passerella dell'Isolotto, Pedestrian bridge in Florence, Italy
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.
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.
This crossing links residential neighborhoods with the city's largest park, enabling daily movement between different parts of Florence. Locals use it regularly to access both parks and homes on opposite sides of the river.
The bridge is freely accessible daily and offers a straightforward crossing between both riverbanks for pedestrians and small vehicles. It is well suited for walking and cycling, especially when moving between Cascine Park and residential neighborhoods across the city.
The bridge sits between Victoria Bridge and Indian Bridge, two other Arno crossings with uncommon names for the city. This position makes it a quiet, overlooked link among Florence's more celebrated river crossings.
