The Italian bridge has been connecting the banks of the Griboedov Canal since the end of the 19th century. It owes its name to the nearby Italian Street. This small footbridge is 20 meters long and 3 meters wide. It was renovated and modernized in the 20th century, but decorated in the style of the early 19th century. The bridge is very popular with street musicians and tourists, because it offers a wonderful view of the nearby
Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood and other historical buildings of St. Petersburg.
