Ponte John Fitzgerald Kennedy, National heritage bridge in Lecco and Malgrate, Italy.
The bridge spans across Lake Como with three large arches connecting the municipalities of Lecco and Malgrate in the Lombardy region.
Construction began in 1942 but halted during World War II, resuming in 1950 and reaching completion with the inauguration on October 23, 1955.
Originally known as Ponte Nuovo, the bridge received its current name in 1963 following the assassination of United States President John F. Kennedy.
The structure underwent renovations in 2020, receiving new stainless steel railings and an enhanced lighting system that illuminates its architectural elements.
The bridge marks the southern boundary of Lake Como's eastern branch, positioned where the Adda River continues its natural flow toward the Po River.
