Ponti in Sicilia fra Sette o Ottocento. Il modello dell'acquedotto romano

In the second half of 19th century some bridges were built in Sicily. They still raised the model of Roman aqueducts, re-launched in the island by Ignazio Paternò Castello, V prince of Biscari, who in the Seventies of the 18th built the aqueduct of Aragon, near Catania. Since the late 18th century and during the 19th this model was in fact reactivated and spread in all Europe through numerous specialized treaties, leading to the creation of similar structures, with several rows of round arches.
