“Did you hear that roar?” Our guide’s question caught us off guard as we stood before a sleek, elevated roadway. “That’s the Cavalcavia Vulcano, named for its proximity to the iconic ‘Volcano’ Autogrill.” This architectural marvel, the Cavalcavia Vulcano, is more than just a bridge. It’s a ribbon of concrete and steel, soaring above the bustling streets of Milan. Constructed between 1959 and 1965, the Cavalcavia Vulcano was the brainchild of engineer Silvano Zorzi. His vision? To create a structure that was as beautiful as it was functional. Zorzi achieved this by employing a unique design. The Cavalcavia’s deck, supported by slender central pillars, gradually thins towards its edges, creating an illusion of lightness. This elegant design, however, came at a cost. The Cavalcavia Vulcano is off-limits to heavy vehicles to maintain its sleek profile. Imagine the trade-off: a visual masterpiece in exchange for a slight compromise on functionality.
