Ponte della Maddalena, also known as the Ponte del Diavolo (devils bridge). Go to this website for the legend behind the name. //www.waytuscany.net/rooten/155_1089.htm

I have driven past this bridge a dozen times on my way to the mountain for snowboarding but never taken a picture of it until this weeks challenge. I took more than 60 photos. Its much more impressive in person.

wow. i've never seen anything like this in person before. what a nice find. I love the arches and the texture in the brick. The angle is good to show the length of the bridge. my eyes move from the hill on the bridge to the front of the photo. while this is a good shot, I would also like to see this from a direct on side view to see those arches. good luck in the challenge.

Beautiful perspective and lines and shadows. More contrast would help this photo even more, I feel.

I think it needs a little more room in the top left of the picture (where the "swell" is). I feel like I am going to bump my head. :-) Great capture of the detail in the bridge, though, and bw works very well here, I think.

You've captured the character and story of time worn service. Good job.

Nice black and white. You've captured a good photograph here. Can you imagine the work that went into building this bridge. Just look at the brick work. Lots of gray tones, good job you've done.

Very cool and interesting looking bridge. Nice perspective in this shot. I like that you used B&W here but I would also like to have seen this shot in color. Good exposure. Maybe you could have sharpened up just a tad. Looks just a little soft IMO. Good luck with the challenge!

Wow very cool. The black and white effect has a very nice effect on the quality and image of the photo. Good job.

It looks as though it is going to fall down any minute :) I think the unusual shape of the top of the bridge definately adds interest to the shot.

why b&w? I'm not sure at this distance that there's enough texture to warrant it, and I'd love to have seen the colours of the stone.
