Voici le magnifique Pont Saint-Ange qui enjambe le Tibre à Rome.


Ponte Sant'Angelo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ponte Sant'Angelo.Ponte Sant'Angelo, once the Aelian Bridge or Pons Aelius meaning the Bridge of Hadrian, is a bridge in Rome, constructed between 134-139 by Roman Emperor Hadrian, to span the Tiber, from the city center to his newly constructed mausoleum, now the towering Castel Sant'Angelo. The bridge is faced with travertine marble and spans the Tiber with three arches; it was approached by means of ramp from the river. The bridge is now solely pedestrian, and provides a photogenic vista of the Castel Sant'Angelo. It links the rioni of Ponte (which was named after the bridge itself), and Borgo.
History
In times past, pilgrims used this bridge to reach St Peter's Basilica, hence it was known also with the name of "bridge of Saint Peter" (pons Sancti Petri). In the seventh century, under Pope Gregory I, both the castle and the bridge took on the name Sant'Angelo, explained by a legend that an angel appeared on the roof of the castle to announce the end of the plague. During the 1450 jubilee, balustrades of the bridge yielded, due to the great crowds of the pilgrims, and many drowned in the river. In response, some houses at the head of the bridge as well as a Roman triumphal arch were pulled down in order to widen the route for pilgrims.
For centuries after the sixteenth century, the bridge was used to expose the bodies of the executed. In 1535, Pope Clement VII allocated the toll income of the bridge to erecting the statues of the apostles saint Peter and Saint Paul to which subsequently the four evangelists and the patriarchs were added to other representing statues Adam, Noah, Abraham, and Moses. In 1669 Pope Clement IX commissioned replacements for the aging stucco angels by Raffaello da Montelupo, commisioned by Paul III. Bernini's program, one of his last large projects, called for ten angels holding instruments of the Passion: he personally only finished the two originals of the Angels with the Superscription "I.N.R.I." and with the Crown of Thorns, but these were kept by Clement IX for his own pleasure. They are now in the church of Sant'Andrea delle Fratte, also in Rome.

Hi Mario
Superb scenic place.
Excellent point of view and depth of field.
Complete details and natural colors.
Warm Regards, Alireza!

Postcard perfect. Your work never fails to impress me. This is nicely balanced in terms of metering and depth of field, and you have managed to achieve a pleasant balance of perspectives, not always easy with a POV like this.
Great work

Ciao, Mario,
ah, now this is wonderful! The light and color are magnificent and I love the way the bridge leads in and the building at the top in the perfect spot. The arches beneath the bridge are great repeating themselves going in and the sky is lovely. This is simply beautiful. Many thanks and warm regards,
Shelly

Hi Mario,
It would seem hard to compose a photo much better than this, all the pieces work; the bridge leading to the village, the clouds over part of it, the very good balance of light and color and the overall sharpness.
Really good work.
Thanks much,
Wilt

Bonjour Mario
Beau point de vue andangle parfait pour capturer les élégntes arche de ce pont. La perspective est très belle et la diagonale ajoute une sorte de mouvement à l'ensemble de l'image. Le Tibre était calme comme toujours t tu as été gratifié d'un ciel bleu d'avril.
Bravo Mario
Serge

Bonjour Mario,

Les réflexions dans l'eau sont des atouts à la composition. La prise de vue permet d'admirer les détails et les couleurs de la structure du pont et elle dirige notre regard vers les maisons de l'arrière-plan. Une image claire et nette. La lumière a un bel effet sur les couleurs. bonne journée.
