The Ennio Flaiano Bridge in Pescara: a masterpiece of contemporary engineering by architect Walter Pichler. This asymmetrical cable-stayed structure features an 85-meter central pylon supporting the deck through 28 high-tensile steel cables.
The bold fan geometry and striking white-blue contrast create an iconic landmark that merges structural functionality with aesthetic elegance. A perfect example of how infrastructure architecture can transform into an urban symbol.
The building was built in 1929. The world 's first structure, where amphitheater balconies are extended outwards and placed in characteristic projections on the facade. In order to increase room usage scenarios, the architect developed a moving partition design. According to the project, three balconies could be separated from the main hall by vertical screens, forming separate audiences for 180 people.

About my Explore
I had seen this place online whilst searching for another location not too far away. I then decided to have a drive past it and check it out and my god I was not sorry!
Sure the place is now a empty, dark and spooky shell but you can see the proud standing tower from a distance - I knew that I had to get inside and have a look.
Access to the ground is not that hard to be honest and there is a clear way in if you wanted to visit the place. Thankfully I brought along my head torch today as it was very dark in some places - especially the very narrow stair way to the tower / roof.
I spent about an hour having a look around this place and despite the fact it is an empty shell now, there is alot to look at whilst your here.
Sometimes you don't have to go far to find amazing architexture! This is my view when I walk out my front door here in Belleville, IL. It's a simple bay window with some cool support structures in the upper right of the image. Remember, amazing architexture isn't always found in some far flung place across the globe, it's right in your hometown near when you live. You just need to find it!

The Torre del Mangia.
In nearby Maremma, 50 years ago, the elderly described the Moon of Mangia, which in Siena was suspended in the sky, without any support.
Even then, I was less than 10 years old, it seemed impossible to me, but the description was reiterated as true.
About 30 years later, going to Siena one afternoon, from the top of a hill I saw the view of the distant city over which, in the low light of the sun nearing sunset, the white top of the tower stood out, while the body below, in red bricks , it was confused with the roof tiles, of the same color and material.
It looked just like a moon suspended in the blue sky!
