Unversity Bridge over the Sile River and Porta Santo Tomaso Bridge in Treviso, Veneto (Italy)

 
Dardano, progenitor of the Trojans founded the city of Eugania in the region of Veneto. To defend it, Dardano built four fortresses, the largest of which took the name of Tusino, commanded by Montorio, the presumed progenitor of the Collalto family. Montorio put the statue of a girl with three heads at the entrance of the main city gate. Each head had three faces and this led to the word Tusino being altered to Tre-visi.
