Villa Clerici🏤 Charming Spooky In Decay but Always Beautiful🌈

According to legend, some pilgrims wanted to attend midnight mass in the city on Christmas Eve in 999, but due to the thick fog their boats could not cross the river. Suddenly, a man dressed in red arrived and promised that he would immediately build a bridge in exchange for the first soul to cross the bridge. The man in red was the devil, and only the Archangel Michael, who had come from the nearby church, recognized him. Michael pretended to agree to the deal, but once the bridge was built, a goat crossed it first. The bridge is therefore also known as the Ponte del Diavolo ("Devil's Bridge").

The covered bridge has its origins in Roman times. The current one was constructed in the 14th century and covered in 1583. Upstream of the bridge you can still see pillars of the original bridge, reconstructed after the Second World War. A memorial stone on the bridge tells that Albert Einstein stayed in Pavia for several months and loved the place.

Very large, covered bridge of Pavia…

Built in wood in 1544 it was subsequently rebuilt in stone (1574) after the collapse. The bridge we see today was raised in 1630, apparently too low for bulky transportation along the waterway.

Witness centuries-old activities

The bridge and the view along the canal are beautiful
