Bassano del Grappa is a town in the Veneto region of Northern Italy and is known for its historical bridge spanning the Brenta River, the wooden Ponte Vecchio (Old Bridge). The bridge, often referred to as the Ponte degli Alpini, was constructed in 1569 and is now considered one of the most significant monuments in the area. It is made entirely of wood and is characterized by its four swivel-arches, 43.37 m in length. Its construction is attributed to the architect Andrea Palladio.
