    Ponte Milvio (or Ponte Molle or Ponte Mollo) is a bridge that connects Piazzale Cardinal Consalvi to Piazzale di Ponte Milvio, in Rome, in the Flaminio, Parioli, Della Vittoria and Tor di Quinto districts.
    It was built where the river entered the ancient city of Rome from the north: today the urbanized territory extends for many kilometers beyond. It was built along the route of the Via Flaminia and Cassia, as an obligatory passage to head north, and the Via Clodia and Veientana also converged there. The Romans popularly call it the Mollo bridge due to its peculiarity: when the Tiber is in flood it is the first bridge to be submerged.
    The first mention of the bridge dates back to 207 BC, in relation to the return from the Battle of Metauro during the Second Punic War. The bridge must have still been made of wood at this time and its construction must be attributed to a Molvius (belonging to the Molvia gens, attested by sources).

      A beautiful intermediate point on the Tiber cycle path. From here you can proceed towards the center of Rome still on the Tiber, or outside Rome towards the Flaminia. Or again, cross the pedestrian bridge by bike and take the cycle paths that cross Viale Tiziano and lead either to Piazzale Flaminio and the beautiful Villa Borghese by bike or you can at a certain point on the Via Flaminia turn left and go up to the Giulia valley and to the Zoo returning to another point of "high" Villa Borghese. In short, there is something to pedal ;-)

        The Milvian (or Mulvian) Bridge (Italian: Ponte Molle or Ponte Milvio, Latin: Pons Milvius or Pons Mulvius) is a bridge over the Tiber in northern Rome, Italy. It was an economically and strategically important bridge in the era of the Roman Empire and was the site of the famous Battle of Milvian Bridge.

        A bridge was built by consul Gaius Claudius Nero in 206 BC after he had defeated the Carthaginian army in the Battle of the Metaurus. In 115 BC, consul Marcus Aemilius Scaurus built a new bridge of stone in the same position, demolishing the old one.
