Artwork Description

The city of Florence (Firenze), Italy is divided by the Arno River. Of its several bridges, the Ponte Vecchio (The Old Bridge) was originally built in the 14th. century with shops and other merchants along the span. Later, the Medici built a private corridor above the shops to link what is now the Uffizi to the Palazzo Pitti. They converted the shops to high end goldsmiths and jewelers, which remain today. The river is often used by local rowers for practice.
