Verona
Panoramic view of Il Ponte Pietra, 100 BC, over the Adige River with the bell tower of the Cathedral (Duomo) on the left, Verona, Italy. The Via Postumia from Genua to the Brenner Pass crossed the Roman Ponte Pietra, or Stone Bridge, once known as the Pons Marmoreus. Its right hand arch was rebuilt in 1298 by Alberto I della Scala, and during the 2nd World War retreating German troops blew up 4 arches of the bridge, which were rebuilt using original materials in 1957.
