Bridge built in the 14th century to connect Lecco to the Duchy of Milan. Ideally it marks the border between Lake Lecco and the Adda river. Of the two lanes, one is dedicated to cyclists and pedestrians and the other for one-way vehicle traffic

The Azzone Visconti Bridge, also known as Ponte Vecchio, is one of the symbolic monuments of the city of Lecco in Lombardy, built between 1336 and 1338 on the Adda River to improve the connections between Lecco and the Duchy of Milan. The viaduct, which connects Lecco to the Galbiate city of the same name Ponte Azzone Visconti, despite being very different from the original today, remains one of the most important examples of military engineering of the time.
