PONTE PRINCIPE AMEDEO SAVOIA AOSTA
Ponte Principe Amedeo Savoia Aosta, also known as Ponte Principe or
Ponte PASA after its acronym, is a bridge that links Lungotevere dei
Sangallo to Piazza Della Rovere in Rome (Italy), in the Rioni Ponte,
Trastevere and Borgo.
Description
The bridge has 3 brick
arcades covered with white marble. Between the arcades there are two
single-lancet windows with rounded arches. The arcades divide the Tiber
into 3 branches by 2 pillars that vaguely look like ships.
It
links the Basilica of San Giovanni dei Fiorentini and the area of Corso
Vittorio Emanuele II to the tunnel that brings to Via Aurelia through
Via di Gregorio VII.
History
The bridge is dedicated to Prince Amedeo of Savoy-Aosta, Viceroy of Ethiopia.
The building of the bridge was committed to the Company Stoelker, while the design was realised by the Municipality of Rome.
The
bridge was completed in 1942, after 34 months and several
interruptions. During the construction, a provisional iron bridge was
released, in order to allow the circulation of traffic.
