Ponte Amerigo Vespucci is a bridge over the Arno River in Florence, Italy and named after Florence-born explorer Amerigo Vespucci.

In 1949, a bridge, ponte di via Melegnano, was constructed from the recycled remains of other bridges that had been destroyed by the Nazi army as they withdrew before the advancing Allied forces during World War II.

Between 1952 and 1954, a competition for the construction of a new bridge was held, and the plan of the architects Giuseppe Giorgio Gori, Enzo Gori and Ernesto Nelli and of engineer Riccardo Morandi was chosen.

The plan called for three spans in a thin, flat arch over two piers which supports the roadway.

The final effect gives the impression of a single, slightly curved span.
