The Milvio Bridge is an ancient pedestrian bridge, and as in fashion today there are hundreds of love padlocks on the bridge, but that doesn't affect the beauty of the bridge, a bridge across the Tiber River that has remained at the centre of Roman history for at least two decades.
It was also a romantic symbol for the Romans, who likened the Tiber to the Seine, and hung many fine keychains on the side of the bridge to pray for the fulfillment of love. On the edge of the arched structure of the bridge stands a huge fortress, with the Italian flag flying, looking majestic from the riverbank
It was a very romantic bridge, the bridge was hung with locks and was a symbol of romance.
Ponte Milvio is most famously known as the bridge to which lovers attach their locks, throwing the keys into the river as a gesture of a love that never dies. Unfortunately, the weight of it all not-so-metaphorically toppled a lantern. The government moved the locks to another location (I believe, city hall) and now only a few locks remain. It's a nice place to catch the sunset and get a macro shot here and there. Peddlers will come by to sell you some locks, so you can commit to everlasting love even if you forgot yours at home.
Want a uniquely cheesy Roman experience? Go with a lover to this bridge, buy a lock, write your names, lock it to the chains, and throw the keys into the Tiber.
