Ponte Principe Amedeo Savoia Aosta, also known as Ponte Principe or Ponte PASA after its acronym, is a bridge that links Lungotevere dei Sangallo to Piazza Della Rovere in Rome (Italy), in the Rioni Ponte, Trastevere and Borgo.
The bridge has 3 brick arcades covered with white marble. Between the arcades there are two single-lancet windows with rounded arches. The arcades divide the Tiber into 3 branches by 2 pillars that vaguely look like ships.
It links the Basilica of San Giovanni dei Fiorentini and the area of Corso Vittorio Emanuele II to the tunnel that brings to Via Aurelia through Via di Gregorio VII.[1]
