The Bridge across Metaura river - Fermignano
The bridge is located to the south of Fermignano (PU) and allows you to cross the river Metauro. The bridge dates back to 1364 and the local tradition call it "Roman" - this bridge and some elements, including construction techniques, corroborate this hypothesis. The bridge, with its three arches and built in blocks of stone, overlooking a large waterfall on the river Metauro that here was regimented in order to provide water to an industrial plant now closed.

The Ponte Pietra (Italian for "Stone Bridge"), is a Roman arch bridge crossing the Adige River in Verona, Italy. The bridge was completed in 100 BC, and the Via Postumia from Genoa to Aquileia passed over it. It is the oldest bridge in Verona. It originally flanked another Roman bridge, the Pons Postumius; both structures provided the city (on the right bank) with access to the Roman theatre on the east bank. The arch nearest to the right bank of the Adige was rebuilt in 1298 by Alberto I della Scala. Four arches of the bridge were blown up by retreating German troops in World War II, but rebuilt in 1957 with original materials.
