		The complex, destroyed by fire and pillage, was rebuilt by Marchionne d'Arezzo in 1198 underr the pontificate of Innocent III.

		When he was elected Pope, he commissioned the architect, Baccio Pontelli, to build the new bridge, authorizing him to remove the material needed from the Colosseum.

		This became a kind of harbinger of the Tiber's dangerous floods, a problem that was solved only with the construction of new river banks, though to the detriment of the city's romantic setting.
