The bridge over the Rabbi and the Via Del Partigiano are recent constructions, but the crossing of the river stretch in that strip of Forlì territory is already told in ancient documents...
... There is mention of a bridge in Vecchiazzano on the Libro Biscia of San Mercuriale in an act of 1196.
If nature was benevolent, it is the same artefact that the chronicler Giovanni di Mastro Pedrino will describe as having been overwhelmed by a flood of the Rabbi in 1433.
Antonio Ordelaffi had it built in wood in 1445 with the help of a certain Master Giacomo da Ferrara, but only 36 years later the "Elders" of Forlì had it rebuilt by Ludovico di Andrea da Lugo and Lorenzo Antonio known as "Malabestia".
In 1842 a great flood caused enormous damage to the wooden artifact and in 1860 the beautiful brick structure that we still see today was built.....
..... The bridge was the only one among those in Forlì to be saved, despite extensive damage, first from the Allied bombings and then from the German devastation, in the terrible moments of the Liberation which in Forlì bears the date of 9 November 1944.
During the restorations carried out by the Municipality starting from 2005, unexploded mines that the Nazis placed for its destruction were found under one span.
The mines remained at that site for over 60 years.
Today the beautiful nineteenth-century building, which can only be crossed on foot or on two wheels, is the symbol of the pedestrian path of the river embankment.....
