Tuffando il patapacciolo
Tuffando il patapacciolo
In October 1567 the vigorous flood waters of the river Brenta swept away the historic bridge,
a roofed timber structure on piles, which had formed the primary communicating route between Bassano and Vicenza.
Palladio, who was involved in its reconstruction process right from the months immediately after the collapse, initially proposed a bridge completely different from its precedent, with three arches in stone according to the model of ancient Roman bridges.
