It connects Kazansky Island and Spassky Island in the city's Tsentralny District. The bridge takes its name from Italyanskaya Street.

Background
History
The bridge was built in 1896 in the place of a boat ferry as a single span wooden bridge which connected Bolshaya and Malaya Italyanskaya Streets. Railway engineer Leonid N. Kolpitsyn proposed building a bridge across the canal, but as the city authorities declined to endorse the project, he built it at his own expense.
