Italy introduces the Sellano Suspension Bridge in Umbria, soaring 574 feet above a ravine and connecting the medieval village of Sellano with Montesanto. This engineering marvel spans nearly half a mile, offering an exhilarating 30-45 minute walk across.
Designed to boost tourism and combat depopulation following the 2016 earthquakes, the bridge requires visitors to wear harnesses for safety, adding to the adventure with its “discontinuous tread” design. Open for the Easter weekend, it could accommodate 90 people per hour, with tickets available online.
Amidst Umbria’s stunning landscapes, this bridge not only showcases architectural ingenuity but also revitalizes local communities.
