Historic stone bridge. It is considered the gateway to the Serchio Valley Rich in history and folklore. The Ponte della Maddalena (called Ponte del Diavolo) crosses the Serchio river near Borgo a Mozzano. Due to the shape of its tallest, broadest and most peculiar, almost inhuman arch, this engineering pearl is the subject of many tales. The legend tells of the master mason engaged in the construction of the bridge who was very worried about the delay accumulated in the same work, given the continuous and impetuous floods of the river. One evening in despair he began to pronounce sacrileges such as to evoke Satan. Then the devil told the master builder that he would complete the work himself in one night in exchange for the first soul to cross the bridge; chief mason accepted and the construction was completed. The foreman, desperate for the imminence of the heavy tribute to the devil, ran to the parish priest, who, having heard the confession, devised a stratagem: he made a dog cross the bridge. The devil, infuriated by the shrewd gesture, took it and threw himself into the river without ever being seen again

One of the most beautiful and oldest exemples of humpback bridge, it was erected in the twelfth century by the Countess Matilde di Canossa,it’s characterized by 5 beautiful asymmetrical arches mirroring on the Serchio river. The old legend says that this old bridge was completed with Devil help ; when local workers were trying to complete the great central arch of the bridge, it always collapsed. So the desperate builders asked for the help of Lucifer, who completed the work, claiming, in exchange, the acquisition of a soul. The local population let cross a pig on the bridge, Lucifer, astonished and angry, had to accept this unusual sacrifice, disappearing in the valley.

Legend has it that the bridge was cursed and the fist to use it would die so a pig was put across first. If coming from Pisa airport you will likely pass it on the way to the Villa.
