QUEEN MARGHERITA BRIDGE

PONTE REGINA MARGHERITA
1886/91 Angelo Vescovali (1826/95)
It is 103.10 m long (338 feet)
It connected the then new Prati District, still under construction at the time, with the center of Rome
The bridge had many stability issues with various adjustments but it is now very solid
In PIAZZA DELLA LIBERTÀ (Liberty Square), just a few years earlier connected to the center of Rome with the bridge, the SOCIETÀ SPORTIVA LAZIO was born on January 9, 1900
It is the largest sports club in Europe and boasts a football section team that was the first ever to play football in Rome
