Vandalism

Wait a minute... The pilgrims sucked cocks? Who wrote that? Can somebody please change that? Greetings, Wouter from Holland —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.123.178.18 (talk) 18:16, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Pearsob (talk) 20:33, 6 March 2015 (UTC)== Number of arches? ==

The article claims there are three arches to the bridge, but the image in the article displays at least five... What is the explanation for this? -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. (talk) 00:46, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

The bridge's three central arches are still the originals from the ancient Roman era. In the seventeenth century two more arches were added, one on either side, to replace the original ramps that lead to the bridge. Pearsob (talk) 20:33, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

"Pons Aelius, meaning the Bridge of Hadrian"... I don't think so... Pons Aelius translates as the Bridge of Aeolius, or Aeolian Bridge, surely? Elio1 (talk) 16:44, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Photographic Accuracy?

The photo currently displayed on this article (Sant'Angelo bridge, dusk, Rome, Italy.jpg), while extremely beautiful, also seems to be more artistic than accurate when compared to street views on Google maps. The large domed building featured prominently in the picture (Saint Peter's Basilica) has been photoshopped in, as it is not actually located so close to this bridge. Other background buildings, as well as the horizon line, have all been photoshopped to appear closer than they really are. There may be other inaccuracies, but these are the most offensive. I do not myself have a better picture to replace it with, so I hope someone else does. I viewed this google maps view in order to arrive at this conclusion: https://www.google.com/maps/@41.9016456,12.4664612,3a,75y,273.24h,75.2t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sVUGN219SYKkqw98kKZiZTg!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3DVUGN219SYKkqw98kKZiZTg%26cb_client%3Dsearch.gws-prod.gps%26w%3D211%26h%3D120%26yaw%3D141.8043%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu.

This has nothing to do with photoshop, the effect is just obtained with a telephoto lens. Alex2006 (talk) 15:16, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
