[edit] Summary
-
Italiano: Rovine del ponte genovese sul fiume Golo (Corsica settentrionale), noto come Ponte Nuovo (co:Ponte Novu), che diede il suo nome alla battaglia vinta dall'Armata di Luigi XV di Francia, che segnò la fine dell'indipendenza dello Stato còrso di Pasquale Paoli, il 9 maggio 1769. Il ponte fu quasi totalmente distrutto dall'esercito tedesco in ritirata verso Bastia nel settembre 1943, al fine di rallentare l'avanzata delle truppe italiane - coadiuvate dalla Resistenza locale e da truppe coloniali francesi - contro di loro.

English: Ruines of the genoan bridge over the Golo river (Northern Corsica) known as Ponte Nuovo (co:Ponte Novu), which gave its name to the battle won by the Louis XV of France Army marking the end of the Independence of the Corsican State led by Pasquale Paoli on May, 9th, 1769. The Bridge was almost destroyed by the German Army retreating towards Bastia in September 1943 in order to slow-down the advance of the Italian troops - supported by the local Resistance and some French Colonial troops - against them.
