It's no surprise that Umbria's Ponte delle Torri stopped JMW Turner in his tracks on his way to Rome in 1819, to become the subject of a later blurry, heat-hazed oil on canvas. The 230m long medieval aqueduct and bridge rises to a height of 80m above the Tessino Torrent and sits on nine huge piers, curiously separated by arches of differing dimensions, to link two hilltop fortresses.
