This bridge was dedicated to Italy's first queen Margherita di Savoia, and was inaugurated in December of 1891. It connects via Cola di Rienzo–the Prati district's main thoroughfare–to the Piazza del Popolo. The 3 arches that sustain its structure are concrete covered in travertine marble, and the bridge measures 103,10 meters in length and 20,95 meters in width.
This picture was taken on a typical busy (and sweltering) Roman summer night.

ReplyDeleteThis photo looks like it is a magical night, instead of a sweltering one. ;-)

Very pretty! It's sweltering here too.
ReplyDeleteI love it - very atmospheric. It was hot here too but we have had cool winds for the past 2 days.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo, love the moonlight.
ReplyDeleteVery mysterious-looking night shot of the bridge. Seems almost dreamlike.
ReplyDeleteI hope you got some relief from the heat. Welcome back, Eleonora.
You made a couple references as to how hot it is in Rome. So just what is the temperature during the day?
ReplyDeleteThank you all for stopping by, please forgive me if I don't respond individually to each of your lovely comments.
ReplyDeleteI'll just say that a) I am away on vacation again to escape the Roman Hades (mid 40s Celsius day AND night); b) I'll be in a stunning Tuscan rural setting; c) I will be posting erratically; d) I welcome any new visitors and thank all of you for leaving such great comments!!
Ciao
Ooh boy, that's a bit warm. Thanks for the temperature reading.
ReplyDeleteOoh, that is hot.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was there, the Piazza del Popolo was full of police cars and seats, preparing for a celebration of some kind. I didn't walk to the river from there, so didn't see this bridge. Great photo.
Enjoy your vacation.
