When and how was the liberty bridge built?<\/h2>\n

It was called the bridge of freedom because it freed the Venetians from the obligation to use a boat to reach the mainland.<\/p>\n

In fact, until ’30 when Mussolini ordered to build a bridge to connect Venice with the mainland, actually Mestre, the citizens of Venice were obliged to take a boat to reach the mainland.<\/p>\n

For poor people it was expensive, so, many Venetians were born and died in Venice without the possibility of seeing anything but Venice.<\/p>\n
