Facts and practical information

The Azzone Visconti Bridge, also known as Ponte Vecchio, is one of the landmark monuments of the city of Lecco in Lombardy built between 1336 and 1338 over the Adda River to improve connections between Lecco and the Duchy of Milan. Although the viaduct looks quite different from the original today, it remains one of the most important testimonies of military engineering of the period as well as being expressly mentioned in Alessandro Manzoni's novel.
