Italy's highest water aqueduct crossing, the Arrone or Rosciano Canal Bridge is a concrete arch with a span of approximately 80 meters.

In later years a bungy company called the Polino Jumping Centre operated from the deck before a tragic accident took the lives of two jumpers in 2002. A couple arrived at the bungy site after it had officially closed but convinced the owner to reopen for one final jump. After the first fall the steel in both caribiners held but after the first rebound they snapped during the second fall allowing the couple to slam into the ground.
