Ponte Vittorio Emanuele II
The Ponte Vittorio Emanuele II is a bridge in Rome .
The bridge was built from 1886 according to plans by the architect Ennio De Rossi . The construction work was delayed and the inauguration of the bridge did not take place until 1911. The bridge connects the historical center of Rome east of the Tiber with the Borgo district to the west of the Tiber and the Vatican City . On the eastern side is the Piazza Pasquale Paoli with Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, which continues to the east . To the side of the bridge in the river bed of the Tiber, the remains of the former Roman bridge Pons Neronianus can be seen.
The bridge spans the Tiber in three arches with a length of 108 meters. At the respective ends of the bridge there are high marble plinths on which there are colossal bronze figures, each with a winged Victoria. Multi-figure groups of marble statues made of travertine are erected on the bridge pillars . The entire ensemble is clearly reminiscent of the National Monument Monumento a Vittorio Emanuele II, which was inaugurated at the same time .
