Images of a rarely seen Ghost City, from the documentation of Prof. Bernhard Brandt The Papal States were territories in the Italian Peninsula under the sovereign direct rule of the pope, from the 8th century until 1870. They were among the major states of Italy from roughly the 8th century until the Italian Peninsula was unified in 1861 by the Kingdom of PiedmontSardinia. In March 1861, the first Italian parliament, which met in Turin, declared Rome the capital of the new Kingdom. However, the Italian government could not take possession of the city because a French garnison in Rome protected Pope Pius IX. The city was captured on September 20, 1870. Rome and what was left of the Papal States were annexed to the Kingdom of Italy as a result of a plebiscite the following October, definite end of the Papal States.

Ponte Rotto, formerly Pons Aemilius, Ponte lapideo, Ponte Maggiore, build 179 BC, the oldest stone bridge. In 1853, Pope Pius IX had the remnants of the bridge connected to the mainland via an iron footbridge, but the heavy metal weakened the structural integrity of the stone.[2][7] The remaining half was demolished in 1887.

Ponte Sant'Angelo, Aelian Bridge or Pons Aelius, the Bridge of Hadrian, was completed in 134 AD by Roman Emperor Hadrian. In middle age it was the only one to get to Saint Peter, hence called bridge of Saint Peter. The modern name is explained by a legend that an angel appeared on the roof of the castle to announce the end of the plague. In 1535, Pope Clement VII allocated the toll income to erecting the statues of the apostles.
