MYSTERY PHOTO: Bridge to somewhere

Here’s a bridge to somewhere in the Lowcountry, but where?  Bonus: What is the formal name of the bridge and what is this person’s significance?  Send your best guess to editor@charlestoncurrents.com. And don’t forget to include your name and the town in which you live.

Our last Mystery Photo, “View from above” showed the beautiful town of Charleston’s sister city, Spoleto, Italy.  Kudos to several readers to recognized the original Spoleto: Marnie Huger of Richmond, Va.; Cheryl Smithem of Summerville; Bud Ferillo and Jay Altman, both of Columbia; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas; Mary Kaplan of Mount Pleasant; and Nathan Foster of James Island.

Bonus points go to Altman, Graf, Peel and Foster, all of whom recognized that the relevancy of the photo is that it underscores how Charleston’s Spoleto Festival USA won’t hold its 44th season thanks to the coronavirus pandemic.

Peel provided some detail about the photo:  “One element that stands out in the center of the frame is the bell tower of the Spoleto Cathedral. The cathedral’s official name is Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta (Cathedral of the Assumption of St. Mary) and dates from the late-12th century when it was consecrated by Pope Innocent III in 1198.”
