Abstract

The Autostrada del Sole, with its high number of bridges and viaducts, gathered the several personalities of the Italian School of Engineering. Prestressed concrete bridges mainly crossed the rivers of the valley of the Po; wide reinforced concrete arches played a main role on the Appennine Mountains. Its construction, divided into a multitude of small parts that small firms had to deal with, represented an epic and spectacular version of the Made in Italy.
