Veronese rebuild Adige bridge brick by brick after war
Verona restores the 11th century Adige bridge, reconstructed brick by brick after it was blown by retreating Germans. American forces, led by Major James Blackwell, built a steel replacement, while locals gathered original bricks and stones for a faithful return to the old span. Guido Gonella aided financing with 100 million lire from the Fine Arts Department.
