Description
The bridge, dedicated to Prince Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy-Aosta, 2nd Duke of Aosta, was designed by architect Vincenzo Fasolo; the building started in 1939 and the inauguration took place in 1942.
The reinforced concrete bridge has a single arch and is 220 m (722 ft) long and 30 m (98 ft) wide; at both extremities are placed two pairs of shafts, whose façades are decorated with high-relieves by the Tuscan sculptor Vico Consorti, illustrating war scenes on the rivers Isonzo, Tagliamento, Sile and Adige.
The bridge links the Flaminio quarter to the Foro Italico.

gollark: Yes. `fs::File::create` can fail. Thusly, it returns `Result<fs::File, io::Error>`.
gollark: And pass `Result`s around.
gollark: Well, it has to monomorphise all the trait things.
gollark: And yet it needs the rust stdlib for rustaceous features.
