To reach Montecchio di Darfo, starting from Boario, you cross the so-called "Roman Bridge," also known as the Montecchio Bridge. It is a scenic 24-meter, single-span bridge, built from blocks of granite and Simona stone in 1686, over the remains of an older bridge that connected the medieval castle on Monticolo to the opposite bank of the river. It has been recognized as a national monument. (from valcamonicaaccessibile.it)
