The Ponte Vecchio (Old Bridge) spanning the River Brenta is a covered wooden pontoon bridge designed by Andrea Palladio in 1569. It was destroyed many times, the last time in World War II.
The design of the bridge is included in Palladio’s Quattro libri dell’architettura, Book III (first edition 1570).
