“Piccoli Angeli” Bridge Over Gorzone Canal in Cavarzere (VE)
The “Piccoli Angeli” bridge was implemented by Zara Metalmeccanica Srl and designed by Prof. Enzo Siviero’s team. The bridge, with a 56 m span, is the synthesis of a design path that considered points of view related to culture and landscape as well as technical and economic aspects. The bridge, which has a strategic function in the countryside network context, memorializes through its name (Ponte degli Angeli) a tragic event that marked the history and now belongs to the memory of the place. The colors of the bridge (a dark gray for the scaffolding and white for the lateral bands) make it visible against the landscape, while the tapered and tense shape recalls the light curvatures that appear on the horizon. The result is a sober, elegant and economical work: the bridge was built for about 800,000 Euro.
