Ponte a bilanciere di Caposile, Counter-weighted bridge in Caposile, Musile di Piave, Italy.
The bridge spans across the Old Piave River, connecting the municipalities of San Donà and Musile through a metal structure with movable platforms.
Built between 1925 and 1927 under engineer Giuseppe Pasquali's design, the bridge was dedicated to General Armando Diaz, who led Italian forces during World War I.
The bridge's structure bears similarities to the Langlois Bridge, which Vincent van Gogh repeatedly depicted in his paintings during his time in France.
Located at Via IV Novembre in Caposile, the bridge underwent restoration work in 2015, funded jointly by the municipalities of San Donà and Musile.
The bridge features a counterweight mechanism that allowed manual lifting of the central span platforms, enabling river traffic until its decommissioning in 1957.
