| La mia discesa sulla banchina del Tevere di qualche settimana fa si è rivelata molto fruttuosa…
I tre ponti in fila sono: Ponte Principe Amedeo Savoia-Aosta; Ponte Vittorio Emanuele II e in fondo c’è Ponte Sant’Angelo (che prende il nome dal castello sulla sinistra). Il ponte sotto al quale ho scattato la foto, è noto anche più semplicemente come Ponte Principe. è dedicato ad Amedeo di Savoia-Aosta, vicerè d’Etiopia e medaglia d’oro al valor militare per l’eroica difesa di Amba Alagi, durante la seconda guerra mondiale. Fu terminato nel 1942 dopo 34 mesi e non poche difficoltà. Il ponte misura 109,70 metri di lunghezza e 20 di larghezza ed ha 3 arcate in muratura. |
My descent on the bank of the Tiber a few weeks ago has been very fruitful…
The three bridges lined up are: Ponte Principe Amedeo Aosta; Ponte Vittorio Emanuele II and in the bottom there is Ponte Sant’Angelo (named after the castle on the left). The bridge under which I took the photo, is also known more simply as Ponte Principe. The bridge is dedicated to Prince Amedeo, Duke of Aosta, Viceroy of Ethiopia and gold medal of military valor for the heroic defence of Amba Alagi, during World War II. It was terminated in 1942 after 34 months of works and many difficulties. The bridge is 109,70 meters long and 20 meters wide and has 3 masonry arches. |
The composition is just wonderful! Secret passageways to explore!
Lol, no fourth encounters for the my photo in Desert Center!
I love your idea – what a treat! and beautifully done too.
I am following you now & I look forward to more of your photos in the future.
Thanks to both of you!

I love this photograph.
Is just one word: great!
A beautiful shot. I love the way we're peering under a bridge to another.. and another. Secret worlds.
I'm sorry to be so late visiting – I had a very busy weekend!
Great photo!

A beauty. Glad Dragonstar put it on the Wall – and congrats to you.
