Angitola Viaduct, Railway bridge in Francavilla Angitola and Pizzo, Italy.
The Angitola Viaduct is a railway bridge spanning roughly 1 km (0.6 mi) and connecting the towns of Francavilla Angitola and Pizzo. The structure crosses the Angitola river valley on the line running between Battipaglia and Reggio di Calabria, supporting both passenger and freight trains on their daily routes.
The bridge was built during a period of major railway expansion in southern Italy, connecting regions that were previously difficult to reach by rail. Its construction marked an important step in modernizing the infrastructure of Calabria and improved trade and travel routes across the region.
Local residents from both Francavilla Angitola and Pizzo incorporate the viaduct into their regional identity, considering it a symbol of their engineering heritage.
The viaduct is accessible to travelers passing through on regular daily trains running between the two towns. There is no direct pedestrian or vehicle access to the structure itself, as it serves rail traffic exclusively.
The bridge's position at coordinates 38°46'13.91"N and 16°13'1.63"E provides travelers with views of the Calabrian landscape during their railway journey.
