Giovanni MICHELUCCI - (1957) - The Bridge "alle GRAZIE" (Florence - Italy)

February 24 th 1957 is inaugurated the new Bridge "alle GRAZIE", the project, winning of contest, it's marked from the witticism "The Meeting" and it's signed by the architects Giovanni Michelucci, Edward Detti, Riccardo Gizdulich, Danilo Santi and from the engineer Peter Melucci. The actual structure of the bridge is constituted by a five spans reinforced concrete Gherber beam of varying length and a width that it goes from the 9 meters of the central spans to the 14 of the entrance roadways. The actual Bridge "alle GRAZIE" introduces it as a conventional and functional structure, but it doesn't absolutely have anything of the charm of the ancient and strong predecessor, despite the choice of a moderately modern style that harmonizes it with the adjoining historical structures.

Il 24 febbraio 1957 si inaugura il nuovo Ponte alle Grazie, il progetto, vincitore di concorso, è contrassegnato dal motto "L'incontro" ed è firmato dagli architetti Giovanni Michelucci, Edoardo Detti, Riccardo Gizdulich, Danilo Santi e dall'ing. Piero Melucci. La struttura attuale del ponte è costituita da una trave Gherber in cemento armato a cinque luci di lunghezza variabile e una larghezza che va dai 9 metri delle campate centrali ai 14 delle carreggiate di imbocco. L'attuale Ponte alle Grazie si presenta come una struttura convenzionale e funzionale, ma non ha assolutamente niente del fascino dell'antico e robusto predecessore, nonostante la scelta di uno stile moderatamente moderno che lo armonizza con le strutture storiche attigue.

Another brilliant video from you Franky..you give so much pleasure to so many people.Here where I live (in a small town in Florida) there's hardly any bridge that's 20 years old for heaven's sake, hahaha!

The structure that is approved and realized bringing notable variations in comparison to the winning project, the most substantial of which it concerns the height of the pillars.

Thank for your intervention.

@asodarou

The bridge to be planned not only has to rise in the center of the city, to direct comparison with the "Ponte Vecchio" and with the surrounding architectures, but it has besides to englobe some survivors pillars consolidated. In the original project these pillars go up to firmly hook the horizontal garret sensitively overcoming the parapets, with an effect of pressing gone out of the water, underlined upward a taper.
