Abstract
Arch bridges were very popular in Italy in the last century, mainly employing reinforced concrete. Arturo Danusso, Eugenio Miozzi, Giulio Krall were amongst the famous “authors” that gave a huge impulse to the Structural Art in arch bridges design. However, the role of Riccardo Morandi was quite exceptional, due to his innovative design criteria very well represented, for example, in the Storms River bridge in South Africa and in the Fiumarella Bridge in Catanzaro.
