This bridge is very special. It is of medieval origin (so it is interesting from a historical point of view). It is always open and access is free and free. As well as other famous bridges in Italy (for example the Rialto Bridge in Venice, infact the story behind is pretty similar) many stories hide behind its construction (in all these stories, of course, there is "The Devil", hence the name of the bridge). The devil promised to San Colombano the construction of the bridge in just one night (in the Middle Ages it took several years) ,but he would sacrifice the soul of the first person who would cross it. San Colombano made an animal (a dog or a bear, depending on the version) cross the bridge and the devil, because of rabies, kicked the bridge deforming it (so the name "ponte gobbo" ,hunchback bridge). In another version the demons (of different heights) who built the bridge were responsible for the shape. Many stories also involve the tavern on the other side of the bridge.In short, a beautiful place where fantasy and history blend perfectly.
