PONTE DELLE BARCHE NEAR BEREGUARDO ON THE TICINO RIVER

The 'Ponte delle barche' pontoon bridge on the Ticino river, near the small town of Bereguardo dates back to the 14th century (1374). It has a 700 years history, dating back to the Visconti family felt the need to be able to cross the river.
In 1449 the Sforza family built a stable pontoon bridge. Before the unification of Italy, each side was patrolled by border agents and soldiers of the Piemonte region and the Austrian Hungarian Empire.
Throughout the years it was fixed and upgraded several times and in 1913 the current version of the bridge was built with cement boats. It was supposed to be temporary, but it survived both WWI and WWII.
The river mimics the flooding of the river and it rises and lowers according to the river level.
The bridge in the Parco del Ticino has also been the location of choice for a few movies, including Adriano Celentano's ‘Mani di Velluto’ (1979) and ‘Il bisbetico domato’ (1980). Maintanance costs of the bridge are around 70.000 euros a year and the bridge, despite being an historical treasure, suffers from lack of funds and lack of water, probably due to climate change. Most of the boats are not able to float anymore, sue to lack of water, making the whole structure weaker.

LA CERTOSA DI PAVIA (THE MONASTERY OF THE CERTOSA OF PAVIA)

The Certosa di Pavia is a monastery and complex in Lombardy, northern Italy, situated near a small town of the same name in the Province of Pavia, 8 km north of Pavia. Built in 1396-1495, it was once located on the border of a large hunting park belonging to the Visconti family of Milan, of which today only scattered parts remain. It is one of the largest monasteries in Italy.
Certosa is the Italian name for a house of the cloistered monastic order of Carthusians founded by St. Bruno in 1044 at Grande Chartreuse. Though the Carthusians in their early centuries were known for their seclusion and asceticism and the plainness of their architecture, the Certosa is renowned for the exuberance of its architecture, in both the Gothic and Renaissance styles, and for its collection of artworks which are particularly representative of the region.
The church is built on a Latin cross plan, with a nave, two aisles and transept, typical of Gothic architecture. The chancel terminates with an apse. It is covered by crossed vaults on Gothic arches and is inspired, on a reduced scale, by the Duomo of Milan. The vaults are alternatively decorated with geometrical shapes and starry skies. The transept and the main chapel end with square-plan chapels with smaller, semi-circular apses on three sides.

The façade of the church is famous for its exuberant decorations, typical of Lombard architecture, every part being decorated with reliefs, inlaid marble and statues. Sculptors who worked on it include Cristoforo Mantegazza and Giovanni Antonio Amadeo himself. In addition to applied sculpture, the facade itself has a rich sculptural quality because of the contrast between richly textured surfaces, projecting buttresses, horizontal courses and arched openings, some of which are shadowed, while those in the small belfries are open to the sky.

In 1492 Gian Giacomo Dolcebuono took up the construction, assisted on site, for he was concurrently occupied with the cathedrals at Pavia and at Milan and other churches, by his inseparable collaborator on both cathedrals, Giovanni Antonio Amadeo.
