The Ponte della Maddalena and the pig

_MG_5375.jpg

This is the Ponte della Maddalena.

Tells the story that the constructor of this bridge was late to deliver it (around 1100).

So, he made a pact with the devil: if he could finish the bridge on time, he would deliver the life of the first living creature that would cross the bridge.

The devil helped him and he could deliver the bridge on time. But on the day of the opening, the man didn't allow anyone to cross the bridge! He came with a pig and let the pig cross it first....

Smart ass...
