The project idea originated from the desire to create a contemporary work that respects and celebrates the history of Cesenatico. The concept is developed as a cultural journey between the past and the future, inspired by the historical memory of the city. Distinctive elements of the project draw inspiration from the Art Nouveau tourist establishments of the late 1800s, the first maritime structures of the 1960s, and the imagery of the "trabocchi," fishing structures that move large nets through rope systems imported up to Romagna brought by fishermen in the late 1800s.

The project harmoniously integrates with the surrounding landscape through the use of materials and design that reflect the historical and maritime environment of Cesenatico. The bridge uses Cor-ten steel, which is resistant to atmospheric corrosion and ideal for the aquatic environment of the Vena Mazzarini. Additionally, the light and transparent design of the structure allows for an open view of the canal and the surrounding landscape, maintaining a visual connection between the city and the sea.
The project was developed with a strong focus on sustainability and eco-compatibility. The Cor-ten steel used is fully recyclable and corrosion-resistant, reducing maintenance needs. The Accoya wood chosen for the bridge is highly durable, stable, and requires minimal maintenance, contributing to the project's longevity and reducing its environmental impact. Additionally, the restoration of the existing pillars further minimizes the project's environmental footprint.
The new pedestrian and cycle bridge over the “Vena Mazzarini” canal in Cesenatico is a remarkable addition to the cityscape. Designed with meticulous attention to detail, it boasts exceptional lightness through careful use of lightweight materials, enhancing visual appeal while reducing pillar load. Its framework, crafted from Cor-ten steel for durability and sustainability, resists corrosion and mechanical stress, ideal for the canal’s maritime environment and minimizing maintenance needs. Accoya wood, known for stability and durability, graces the bridge’s deck, treated to withstand diverse climates and blending seamlessly with ambiance. This sustainable choice not only ensures longevity but also adds aesthetic warmth to the structure. The bridge seamlessly integrates historical elements into its modern design. Inspired by early Art Nouveau and 1960s maritime architecture, it resonates deeply with the local community. Safety is important, addressed through a stainless steel net parapet offering uninterrupted views of the canal, enhancing accessibility and visual connectivity. Engineered to endure the marine environment, the bridge guarantees long-term functionality with materials selected to mitigate corrosion and environmental impact. In summary, the pedestrian and cycle bridge over the “Vena Mazzarini” canal combines advanced engineering with cultural sensitivity and environmental responsibility, making a transformative addition to Cesenatico’s architectural heritage.
This project blends history and modernity, showcasing how architecture can honor the past while embracing the future. The new pedestrian and cycle bridge over the Vena Mazzarini canal serves not just as infrastructure, but as a symbol of sustainability and environmental respect. It seamlessly integrates into Cesenatico's historical and natural landscape, designed meticulously with innovative materials for long-term community benefit in a sustainable manner.
