Giovanni da Verrazzano (also spelled with only one "z," 1485-1528) was a Florentine explorer of North America. The VerrazanoNarrows Bridge is a double-decked suspension bridge that connects the boroughs of Staten Island and Brooklyn in New York City. Here is an image of an airmail stamp depicting both the explorer and the bridge, designed by Italian artist Renato Mura, printed by photogravure, and issued by Italy on November 21, 1964 as one of a set of two similar stamps commemorating the bridge's opening day, Scott No. C138. Note: At the time of its completion, the VerrazanoNarrows Bridge, with a central span of 4,260 feet (1,298 m), was the longest suspension bridge in the world. - nethryk  |
