Il Ponte di Tiberio, was started during the reign of Augustus, as part of his extensive series of public works for Rimini, but takes its name from Tiberius, the Emporor under whose reign the bridge was finished. Built in seven years, between 14 and 28AD.
The Bridge is a remarkable construction, proven by the fact that it remains largely as it was when built by the Romans – despite the ebbs and flows of nature, the numerous wars it has seen, and modern day traffic (the bridge remains in use).
When there was a river, that is, as the modern day bridge sits astride a canal. The river Marecchia originally passed under the bridge, but in the twentieth century was diverted from its ŕf cours to minimise flooding damage.
If engineering prowess doesn’t rock your boat, the bridge is still well worth visiting just to see and admire. The sturdy white stone, with original inscriptions (to Augustus, and Tiberius), easily give the visitor the idea of travelling back in time.
The bridge connects Rimini’s centro storico with the borgo San Giuliano. During the summer months, often, there are concerts and events staged in the canal with the ponte di Tiberio as an impressive backdrop.
One of the most famous images of political authority from the Middle Ages is the mosaic of the Emperor Justinian and his court in the sanctuary of the church.
This image is an integral part of a much larger mosaic program in the chancel (the space around the altar).
In the chancel mosaic Justinian is posed frontally in the center. He is haloed and wears a crown and a purple imperial robe. He is flanked by members of the clergy on his left with the most prominent figure the Bishop Maximianus of Ravenna being labelled with an inscription.
To Justinian's right appear members of the imperial administration identified by the purple stripe, and at the very far left side of the mosaic appears a group of soldiers.
This mosaic thus establishes the central position of the Emperor between the Power of the Church and the power of the imperial administration and military.
Like the Roman Emperors of the past, Justinian has Religious, Administrative, and Military Authority.
The clergy and Justinian carry in sequence from right to left a Censer, the Gospel book, the Cross, and the Bowl for the bread of the Eucharist. This identifies the mosaic as the so-called "Little Entrance" which marks the beginning of the Byzantine liturgy of the Eucharist.

Ferrara es un municipio italiano de la región de Emilia-Romaña, capital de la provincia homónima. Con una población de 129 555 habitantes (ISTAT 2024), está situada sobre el río Po de Volano. La ciudad tiene una estructura urbanística que se remonta al siglo XIV, cuando era gobernada por la familia de los Este. El diseño realizado por Biagio Rossetti la convirtió en la primera ciudad moderna de Europa. De este hecho histórico, además de la conservación del estilo y materiales arquitectónicos en la zona del centro histórico, deriva en gran parte su reconocimiento como Patrimonio Mundial de la Humanidad en 1995 (al centro histórico de Ferrara), ampliado en 1999 al delta del Po.

Quante volte ho pensato che la strada della vita fosse tortuosa e piena di imprevisti
Proprio come questa salita... ghiacciata… sdrucciolevole
