Which italian city?

I searched but couldnt really nail it.
Its an old print.
My guess is Florence.

 

Maybe Rome. That could be the Vatican in the background. I think Rome is more likely than Florence.

Compare to this:

or search images: Vatican Tiber

 

I bought it because I thought it was Rome, but people tell me that its not likely.

 

When I Googled "views of Rome" this is what I found -

It is ROME.
I deciphered a part of small pale writting beneath.
It says, Roma 1800

 

Messilane, the bridge looks different on that site

 

I also deciphered following:
"Veduta dell Antico Ponto Jana ulessali restaurato da Nieto II"

 

You would think Ponto Jana would be the name of the bridge, and maybe it was back then... but I think today it's the Ponte Sisto. (At least the Sisto seems to have that central medallion.)

 

Maybe it is strange form of arhaic italian sentence, Word Nieto can be hardly seen and may as well be Sisto

 

I think Nieto II is the name of a person who was responsible for a restoration of the bridge, and the print was made to commemorate that.

If it is the Sisto, that "medallion" is, in fact, an oculus (eye), a hole through the bridge to lighten the masonry load at that point.

 

Did anyone notice that the picture posted by Makanudo only has 4 arches.
The others posted have 5 arches.

 

Good observation skills there, Cluttered.

 

I think you need to determine where Ponte Jana is

View of the Old Bridge Jana

 

The bridge from the link above, that has 5 arches is not ponte sisto.
Ponte sisto has 4 arches and a circle.

 

I believe it is the Ponte Sisto, also. Left of the middle of the bridge, along the top, there is a very slight "peak" and then it drops off going downward. This is also evident in the print that Makanudo has.

Here is a more recent photograph where the bridge is seen from approximately the same angle as in Makanudo's print in the first post.
