HISTORIC PRESERVATION at Bassano del Grappa & the Ponte Vecchio.
The covered wooden bridge, known as the Ponte degli Alpini and originally designed by Andrea Palladio in the sixteenth century, has been rebuilt in its historic form several times after flood and war damage, making the present structure a faithful timber reconstruction rather than original fabric. It is maintained by the Comune di Bassano del Grappa, the municipal government. The bridge and town are freely open to the public at all times.
