On this spot, once stood a simple iron bridge – the Passerella di Ripetta. It was a far cry from the majestic Ponte Cavour we admire today. Completed in 1901, Ponte Cavour stands as a testament to a pivotal era in Roman history. Its construction, along with the development of the Prati district, reflects the city’s growth after becoming the capital of a unified Italy in 1870. The bridge’s five travertine-clad arches, designed by Angelo Vescovali, exude a sense of timeless grandeur. They connect not just two riverbanks, but also symbolize the union of old and new Rome. Ponte Cavour is also a place where tradition takes a daring leap. Every New Year’s Day since 1946, brave souls continue the tradition started by Mr. OK, taking a plunge from the bridge into the chilly waters of the Tiber, a spectacle that embodies the vibrant spirit of Rome.
