A splendid example of Palladian architecture, the Ponte Vecchio or, Ponte degli Alpini, can be considered the symbol of the city of Bassano del Grappa. Because of its historical and artistic value. The first historical evidence of the bridge dates back to 1209, but the current architectural structure is to be attributed to a project by Andrea Palladio of 1569.

In fact, Palladio presented the innovative project of a wooden bridge characterized by the use of Tuscanine columns as a support for the supporting architrave. Over the centuries the Ponte sul Brenta suffered numerous destructions and reconstructions.
