2Ponte Vecchio – Italy

The city of Florence is irreducible yet to start somewhere: the heavenly mix of history, art, love and elegance. It is impossible to separate the importance of the Arno River and the beauty of Florence.

Travers The Arno at its narrowest point, Ponte Vecchio (meaning ‘Old Bridge’ in Italian) is remarkable thanks to its picturesque frame. Rebuilt after a devastating submersion in 1345 and survived the Second World War, Ponte Vecchio now play host to umteen jewellery shops and attracts tourists. With only 32 meters in width and a maximum of 30 meters of span, it is rather small yet the impact on our eyes is inestimable.
