Ponte Duca d'Aosta

Ponte Duca d'Aosta is a bridge that links Lungotevere Flaminio to Piazza Lauro De Bosis, in Rome, in the Flaminio and Della Vittoria quarters.

Description

The bridge, dedicated to Prince Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy-Aosta, 2nd Duke of Aosta, was designed by architect Vincenzo Fasolo; the building started in 1936 and the inauguration took place on 26 March 1939.
The reinforced concrete bridge has a single arch and is 220 m long and 30 m wide; at both extremities are placed two pairs of shafts, whose façades are decorated with high-relieves by the Tuscan sculptor Vico Consorti, illustrating war scenes on the rivers Isonzo, Tagliamento, Sile and Adige.
The bridge links the Flaminio quarter to the Foro Italico.
