I pass the very beautiful Ponte della Maddelena every time I come or go from Bagni di Lucca. Sometimes when I pass there is no wind and the river is like glass…as it was the other day.
The day was cloudy and dull, but the bridge still looked great.
…still looking good after 900 years.
It is a beautiful bridge, indeed. We must thank Countess Mathilda di Canossa for it.

It certainly is impressive….every time you drive past you feel the need to stop and admire it.

How I too love that wonderful 900 year old bridge — remember you and I walked over it and took photos from the bridge but nothing is as amazing as the photo from the road where you capture the whole bridge and the mirrored reflection in the river.. Magnificent.

It is fun to walk over it, but the best views are from the road looking at the bridge.

The bridge is gorgeous. I don’t care how many times I see it I am amazed.

I think it is one of the few bridges the Germans didn’t blow up during their retreat because it was to so narrow. But the advancing Americans could get their Jeeps over it. Whatever the reason I’m so glad it’s still there.

It is wonderful that it wasn’t destroyed. The one in front of my house was bombed.

They’re lovely as they are, but it will give you a reason to take more photos.

The best photos I have taken of the bridge are way back with my crummy old camera. It all depends on the day.

I drive past the bridge a few times each week. I love it when the river is still.
