I took this photo of the wonderful Ponte della Maddelena through the windscreen of the car. (I wasn’t driving).
It is a pity there isn’t a footpath on the road near the bridge. It could be done. A small foot path could be built beside the road, over the river. It would make a great viewing platform. I tried walking along the road once…never again!
Here are a few photos I have taken of the fabulous bridge over the years.
I took the photos below years ago with my first digital camera. It must have been 2004. The conditions were perfect.
Whatever the season the bridge looks great.
The bridge was decorated for the 150th anniversary if the unification of Italy.
The bridge always looks stunning. Fortunately it never changes…everything around it does.
Bella Bagni di Lucca 
Great photos.
Thank you. It is a beautiful bridge.
We all keep striving for that perfect photo of the beautiful bridge we love – you’ve nailed it
I keep trying for the perfect shot.
I agree with you, a footpath and a viewing platform would be great.
At the moment you can get there by car, bus or bicycle. Waking is too dangerous.
My friend Giorgio Mazzolini and his brother Roberto from Borgo a Mozzano told me that 20 odd years ago that they both drove over the bridge in a fiat cinque cento before the concrete bollards were installed.
That would have been fun.
Amazing bridge and nature there… Thank you for the wonderful post.
The bridge is stunning.
Happy 150th anniversary celebrations of Italy! These photographs are so beautiful, I love Bagni di Lucca and her bridge too.. Thank you dear Debra, Love, nia
That was a few years ago. We had lots of rain at the time and the river was high.
Yes I remember dear Debra, I hope and wish never to happen again.
I love the rain-soaked shot of the Bridge, Debra! The photos you take of Ponte della Maddelena is like an art form, always beautiful at any angle. Brings back wonderful memories of walking over the Bridge to the other side and exploring the village.
I love the bridge. I stare at it every time I go past and often stop to walk across and admire the view.
Ponte della Maddelena looks so abstract with active rhythm.
