Ponte Settimia Spizzichino, Contemporary bridge in Garbatella district, Rome, Italy.
Ponte Settimia Spizzichino is a modern bridge in Rome connecting the Garbatella and Ostiense neighborhoods while spanning above Underground Line B tracks. It features two white painted arches and steel cables that support its structure.
The bridge was built in the 1990s to create an important connection between two expanding neighborhoods in Rome. It was named after a woman who survived World War II, honoring her legacy.
The bridge is named after a survivor of Nazi persecution, serving as a reminder of Rome's history for those who cross it. It has become a symbol of the modern Garbatella neighborhood.
The bridge is easy to reach on foot, by bike, or by car with separate pathways for each type of traffic. It is best visited during the day to clearly see the details of the white structure.
After sunset, white and colored LED lights hidden within the central cables transform the bridge into a glowing structure at night. This lighting design was intentional, making it a special sight after dark.
