Discover the enchanting beauty of the Ticino River, a historic waterway that flows through the heart of Italy and Switzerland. In Pavia, Lombardy, stand the iconic Covered Bridge (Ponte Coperto), a medieval marvel that spans the river and is a must-see attraction. The Lavandaia statue, located nearby, adds a touch of history and culture to the picturesque scene. Travel back in time with a glimpse of Pavia, as depicted in an 1843 drawing by a Swiss artist (Bellinzona no. 11). The Covered Bridge, a 14th-20th century engineering marvel, is a testament to the region's rich history. But the Ticino River holds more than just history. In times of conflict, it was a crucial barrier, with great numbers of Swiss defending against sieges and ultimately drowning in its waters. Today, it's a peaceful and vital transportation route, as seen in this early 20th century image of waterway transportation in Pavia. Meanwhile, in Sesto Calende, Italy, an iron bridge spans the Ticino River, offering a modern contrast to the historic Covered Bridge. Explore the Ticino River and its surrounding areas for a journey through time and a feast for the senses.
