Costruito nel primo secolo avanti Cristo per sostituire un preesistente ponte in legno, Ponte Pietra è il più antico monumento romano di Verona e forse anche il più suggestivo. Esso univa l'originario tracciato della via Postumia con il colle antistante in corrispondenza di un guado, utilizzato sin dalla notte dei tempi. Delle sue cinque arcate solo le due a sinistra, edificate in pietra bianca, risalgono all'epoca romana; l'arcata centrale e quella successiva, realizzate in mattoni, appartengono ad una ricostruzione eseguita nel 1520; l'ultima arcata sulla destra risale ad un rifacimento medioevale voluto nel 1298 da Alberto I della Scala. In tale occasione il ponte fu dotato anche della MINACCIOSA TORRE DIFENSIVA POSTA ALLA SUA TESTA e ornata verso il fiume da un arco in pietra sormontato dall'emblema degli Scaligeri. Ponte Pietra è imponente e rustico, dotato d'una bellezza che risiede in quel suo originale susseguirsi di materiali e stili diversi ma sempre tra loro felicemente intonati, che si armonizzano in un "insieme suggestivo e scenografico, contraddistinto da un particolare cromatismo per i bianchi e i rossi mescolati con geniale casualità, così da ottenere una costruzione romanticamente spettacolare in cui si fondono la classicità romana e la fastosa semplicità del Romanico medioevale" (P. Fabbri, Arte e storia di Verona). Bello di giorno, offre il meglio di sé durante la notte, quando una sapiente illuminazione e il silenzio in cui si ode l'acqua stagliarsi contro le pile, lo rendono uno dei luoghi più romantici dell'intera città. Anch'esso purtroppo, come accaduto per tutti i ponti di Verona, è stato oggetto dello scempio nazista durante la seconda Guerra Mondiale. Fatto saltare il 24 aprile 1945 dai tedeschi in fuga, è stato fedelmente ricostruito utilizzando esclusivamente i materiali originali recuperati dal letto del fiume.

I went on this beautiful bridge, every time I came to Verona and did not know his story in detail. It 'been a pleasure reading your comprehensive and interesting didascalia.L'immagine is wonderful, and really expresses all the romance, and the peaceful atmosphere accompanied only by the melody of the water flowing. Excellent management of light and warm colors and harmonious between natural elements and architectural. Congratulations and good night;-):-P

hello Giuliano, the photo is really beautiful, composition, light, W / B ..... but I see on my monitor scaling remarkable on black sky, you have to open the case very shadows?
if you come out a little scuretta forcing you to that, the next time you go out in the "hunt" test, always at iso 200, to lengthen the shutter speed (20-30 sec.) and close the aperture larger, type f / 13, the sky should riuscirti black and monuments lit properly ... well ... to try! ;-)
however, this photo is very pleasant, congratulations! :-)
