On December 31, 2023, the third largest newspaper in Italy, La Stampa, published an article about the newly inaugurated “Cau Hon” (Kiss Bridge) in Hoang Hon Town, Phu Quoc. This bridge, which opened on December 22nd, 2023, provides couples with a picturesque setting to commemorate their love against the romantic backdrop of the Pacific Ocean's sunset, as introduced by La Stampa.
The Italian newspaper La Stampa has praised Kiss Bridge as the most romantic sunset spot in the world. |
The author of the article, Noemi Penna, describes the Kissing Bridge as a special bridge with two separate branches. “The two ends of the bridge face each other, as if exchanging a kiss” - the Kiss Bridge appears to be full of romantic charm under the pen of the La Stampa journalist. She also compares this bridge to “an Italian-style kiss”.
According to La Stampa, the bridge is a passion project of renowned Italian architect Marco Casamonti, inspired by the unique imagery of Michelangelo's “The Creation of Adam” on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. “Like the fingers in the painting, the two branches of the Kiss Bridge do not touch each other”, the author describes.
The concept of the two branches of the Kiss Bridge do not touch each other receiving praise from La Stampa, an Italian newspaper, has drawn attention to the Bridge of Two Unconnected Spheres as possessing the “most sensual” sunset in the world. Specifically, the bridge spans approximately 800 meters, consisting of two branches separated by a distance of about 30 cm, which can only be filled with a kiss, an embrace, or a handshake from both sides of the bridge. “This gap serves a purpose, calculated precisely so that on January 1st of each year, the sun sets exactly within that space, creating the most sensual sunset scene in the world”, La Stampa writes.
