There is a similarity between this structure and the Bixby Creek Bridge, in California. Faraway, under the arch, we can see the railway bridge. [Photo by Maurizio]

    I like that I can see the second bridge under the first one.

    I can't remember seeing a bridge before built with so many rectangular supports.

    Very nice. If I just saw the bridge and its natural setting and was asked to identify the county, Italy might have been my 70th guess.
