Fun fact: this bridge is in the works for ~2000 years; the Romans were the first to want to build it.
Also, this is a great region, if you can ever get there in an RV - you are not going to regret it!
- paulryanrogers 2y agoWhy an RV?
- H8crilA 2y agoDoesn't have to be one :)
- mikhailfranco 2y agoMany retirees from N. Europe drive to Sicily in the winter. So there are many RV parks and facilities, with an interesting variation of community, camaraderie, and, inevitably, farcically - snobbery.
- thom 2y agoIt's rumoured that they _did_ build some sort of pontoon out of barrels, to transport the elephants captured by Lucius Caecilius Metellus after the Battle of Panormus. The story's widely attributed to Strabo or Pliny the Elder but I can't find the original source, whether or not we'd believe it. Tip of the galea to whoever tracks it down.
