1974 Silvano Zorzi (1921/94) who executed a 1965 project by
Luigi Moretti (1907/73)
It was
opened only in 1980 when the Line A of the Rome Metro was completed
It is
121,60 m (399 feet) long
It is also
known as PONTE DELLA METROPOLITANA (Metro Bridge)
“In
the sixties Silvano Zorzi is among the first in Italy to deal with the design
of bridges and viaducts in the system of the overhang structures (horizontal
beams firmly connected to one end only). In industrial manufacturing, in marine
and ground installations he researches typological solutions through the design
of industrially produced building components. His whole production moves from the
knowledge that the engineering artifacts are permanent architectures of the
landscape and then he looks for the structural lightness, constructive and
figurative” (G.L. Ciagà - Gli archivi di architettura in Lombardia. Censimento
delle fonti)
