ponte regina margherita

{not a full moon yet}

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.
