Geocache Description:

Ricixxx-Ponte Umberto I

Roma Curiosa


Ogni ponte di Roma ha una storia particolare, ma il Ponte Umberto I ne ha addirittura una "regale"...

Realizzato a tre arcate su progetto dell'architetto Angelo Vescovali, il ponte fu dedicato al re Umberto I. Alla cerimonia di inaugurazione, avvenuta il 22 settembre 1895, intervennero lo stesso re e la regina Margherita, i quali si recarono poi a visitare il cantiere del Palazzaccio che l'architetto Calderini stava innalzando all'opposta testata del ponte, su quella che si chiamò poi la piazza dei Tribunali.

The bridge was designed by architect Angelo Vescovali and built between 1885 and 1895; it was dedicated to Umberto I, King of Italy, who inaugurated the bridge together with his consort Margherita of Savoy. The bridge links the Palace of Justice (popularly known as Palazzaccio) to the area surrounding Piazza NavonaIt is made of three masonry arches covered with travertine and stone of Subiaco and is about 105 m (344 ft) long.
