OVIPOSITION DEGLI ALPINI
Covered wooden bridge also called Ponte Vecchio, being the symbol of Venice and the main sight of the city.
This frail and subtle wooden structure overlooking the Brenta River is a heritage rarity. Covered by a roof, the Ponte degli Alpini is in fact a pedestrian bridge. Originally built in the 13th century, its style was reinvented in 1569 by Palladio. Fate, however, was relentless... Many times damaged or destroyed by the floods of the river and then by the wars in the following centuries, the 58-meter bridge finally owed its salvation to the Alpine hunters who, in 1948, rebuilt it according to the plans of the famous Vicenza architect.
