"It was built in 1358 by Abbot Ademaro, with the ransom paid by Tivoli for the prisoners of the Battle of Campo d'Arco. Crossing the door of the turret, walking on the stone cobblestones, worn by time, is an emotion but, above all, the Ponte di San Francesco is a place to be experienced and perhaps this is precisely why the European Film Commission Network has included it among the best film locations in Europe.

the San Francesco Bridge connects the two banks of the Aniene river at the entrance to the city of Subiaco (RM). Entirely built in blocks of local stone called cardellino, it is a perfectly preserved humpback bridge on a single span with a guard tower on one side.
