Ponte Scalzi

Sorry mate, but there is something wrong. The Ponte Scalzi is opposite of the railway station, The new bridge that connects Piazzale Roma to the railway station was done by Calatrava. This is the bridge your pictures shows. But I agree the new bridge is fabulous, especially at night, with the fine lights.

I have long been a fan of Santiago Calatrava’s work and have especially admired his combination of aesthetics and practicality on infrastructural projects. This bridge is a simple but worthy addition to his canon of work. Despite being a source of great controversy the bridge is actually relatively simple. Graceful curves and simple materials help it to blend into its surroundings.
Although it is unlikely that it will ever become anywhere near as iconic as the Rialto Bridge one hopes that before long it will be taken for granted.
