Rome: A View of the Ponte Salario
by WITTEL, Caspar Andriaans van, Oil on panel, 27 x 41 cm
The Ponte Salario crosses the Aniene, a tributary of the Tiber, to the north of Rome and was originally built in the first century BCE. The structure seen in the present work was begun in the eighth century and extended in Medieval times before being largely demolished during the Napoleonic invasion of Italy.
