The Il Ponte della Pietra is a stone bridge and was built after WWII, between 1957 and 1959. It was built on the site of an ancient Roman bridge on the Via Postumia an important line of communication between Genoa and Aquileia. Of the five arches the bridge is made up of, one on the left dates back to the Roman period. The central arch and the next one after it, was built by Antonio Scarpagnino and date back to 1520. The last arch and the tower, intended for defence, was built at the time of Alberto I della Scala
