The Italian bridge
The Italian bridge thrown through the channel of Griboedov (earlier - the Ekaterina's channel), is located in an alignment of the Italian street which is approximately in the middle between the Neva prospectus and a cathedral of Spasa on blood. It is remarkable that the given bridge is a popular place of visiting of tourists, paternal has appeal and to street musicians which can receive quite good earnings thus. The kind the bridge reminds of those times when inhabitants of Petersburg presumed to themselves building of similar constructions on own financial assets. So, in 1896, the Italian bridge has been erected by engineer L.N.Kolpitsynym, at the expense of the monetary savings, and originally was wooden, one-flying, intended for foot movement. The flying structure of the bridge has been executed from gvozdevyh board farms raskosnoj systems, and as support for a construction walls of quay of the channel of Griboedov have served. The ksilolitovye plates which earlier were not applied in practice mostostroenija, have been used as bridge overlapping. Feature of the bridge was its position over the channel as for preservation podmostnogo a dimension, along quays the external ladders intended for lifting on a mark of a bridge cloth have been built.
To the name the bridge is obliged to the Italian palace constructed in 1720th years on the left coast. The palace for the purpose of carrying out of assemblies and other public meetings of the Petersburg nobility has been built. Its shape in accuracy corresponded to the sample of the Italian pleasure houses, therefore that it began to be called as Italian. Behind a palace, in east direction up to Znamensky street (now Revolt street), the garden with greenhouses and hotbeds has been broken. It as have named Italian.
In 1902 there was a small reconstruction of the bridge when under the direction of architect K.Balda, the construction flooring has been made from shpuntovyh boards. In 1911 the Italian bridge has been reconstructed under the project of the engineer To. V.Efimeva then remained wooden, but already had the pile bases. In 1937 the construction has undergone to the major repairs caused by necessity of a transfer of a heating system through the channel of Griboedov then the Italian bridge was included into number of so-called bridges-heat conductors of Petersburg which in a city is much. It is remarkable that almost all such Petersburg teploprovodnye crossings have the similar constructive data similar on the parametres and architectural qualities.The Italian bridge thrown through the channel of Griboedov (earlier - the Ekaterina's channel), is located in an alignment of the Italian street which is approximately in the middle between the Neva prospectus and a cathedral of Spasa on blood.

In 1955, during repair of quays of the channel, the bridge has been completely reconstructed because of the pitiable, emergency condition. The construction of the new Italian bridge was made under the project of engineer A.D.Guttsajta and architect V.S.Vasilkovskogo. The reconstructed bridge has appeared one-flying, metal, balochnoj systems. Teplofikatsionnye pipes it has been decided to place under a covering design because of what the minimum height of two main welded beams which are carrying out a role of bearing elements of a design, has appeared equal 0,7 metres. Retaining walls of quays of the channel became construction support, as well as during former times. The bridge total length is equal to 21 metre, and its width, in general, is not great, only 3 metres. As an ornament of support floor lamps with octahedral openwork lanterns serve. Ferro-concrete plates, rolled isolation and an asphalt layer became a bridge covering.
It is necessary to notice that the bridge decor is various enough. Sections perilnogo protections are made of round cores on which capitals in the form of the buds located between pig-iron curbstones with unprofitable elements are represented. It is interesting that elements on curbstones remind boards with the crossed stylised swords and longitudinal peaks on which branches of acacias are strung. The front parties of the main beams of the Italian bridge are decorated by rather picturesque art fragments. By the way, the bridge executed in the spirit of Stalin classicism, is well entered in an architectural ensemble of the buildings located on quay of the channel of Griboedov.
In 2002 the Italian bridge has changed again. As if the new life was inhaled in it by experts of Petersburg "Lensveta", having developed and having carried out its illumination under the individual project. Now a night life of this most beautiful structure, four light sources proceeding from projectors, established on special racks shine at once.
