    The bridge is built over the Stura stream and is similar to other stone bridges, typical of the Lanzo Valleys.
    It dates back to the year 1477 and was erected thanks to the generosity of the Goffi brothers, holders of the concession for the exploitation of the local iron and copper mines; for this reason it is also called "Goffi bridge".
    The village where it is located is called "Forno" because furnaces were built there for the melting of metals extracted from the surrounding mountains and preserves the remains of the mining village, active in the century. XIV.


    The bridge is made of stone, formed by two unequal humpback arches. At the center of the main arch there is a shrine dedicated to the Madonna, originally frescoed. It is believed that the aedicule was built to increase the weight of the center of the arch and therefore the thrust between the two side blocks.
