The Ponte Vecchio ("Old Bridge", Italian pronunciation: [ˈponte ˈvɛkkjo]) is a Medieval stone closed-spandrel segmental arch bridge over the Arno River, in Florence, Italy, noted for still having shops built along it, as was once common. Butchers initially occupied the shops; the present tenants are jewelers, art dealers and souvenir sellers. The Ponte Vecchio's two neighbouring bridges are the Ponte Santa Trinita and the Ponte alle Grazie.
The bridge spans the Arno at its narrowest point where it is believed that a bridge was first built in Roman times, when the via Cassia crossed the river at this point. The Roman piers were of stone, the superstructure of wood. The bridge first appears in a document of 996. After being destroyed by a flood in 1117 it was reconstructed in stone but swept away again in 1333 save two of its central piers, as noted by Giovanni Villani in his Nuova Cronica. It was rebuilt in 1345,Giorgio Vasari recorded the tradition in his day, that attributed its design to Taddeo Gaddi, besides Giotto one of the few artistic names of the trecento still recalled two hundred years later. Modern historians present Neri di Fioravanti as a possible candidate. Sheltered in a little loggia at the central opening of the bridge is a weathered dedication stone, which once read Nel trentatrè dopo il mille-trecento, il ponte cadde, per diluvio dell' acque: poi dieci anni, come al Comun piacque, rifatto fu con questo adornamento. The Torre dei Mannelli was built at the southeast corner of the bridge to defend it.
Ponte, a word meaning bridge in Italian, Portuguese and Galician languages, may refer to:
Florence (/ˈflɒrəns/ FLOR-əns; Italian: Firenze [fiˈrɛntse]) is the capital city of the Italian region of Tuscany and of the Metropolitan City of Florence. It is the most populous city in Tuscany, with approximately 382,000 inhabitants, expanding to over 1,520,000 in the metropolitan area.
Florence is famous for its history: a centre of medieval European trade and finance and one of the wealthiest cities of the time, it is considered the birthplace of the Renaissance, and has been called "the Athens of the Middle Ages". A turbulent political history includes periods of rule by the powerful Medici family, and numerous religious and republican revolutions. From 1865 to 1871 the city was the capital of the recently established Kingdom of Italy.
The Historic Centre of Florence attracts millions of tourists each year, and Euromonitor International ranked the city as the world's 89th most visited in 2012, with 1.8 million visitors. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1982. The city is noted for its culture, Renaissance art and architecture and monuments. The city also contains numerous museums and art galleries, such as the Uffizi Gallery and the Palazzo Pitti, and still exerts an influence in the fields of art, culture and politics. Due to Florence's artistic and architectural heritage, it has been ranked by Forbes as one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
Old Bridge may refer to:
The Arno is a river in the Tuscany region of Italy. It is the most important river of central Italy after the Tiber.
The river originates on Mount Falterona in the Casentino area of the Apennines, and initially takes a southward curve. The river turns to the west near Arezzo passing through Florence, Empoli and Pisa, flowing into the Tyrrhenian Sea at Marina di Pisa.
With a length of 241 kilometres (150 mi), it is the largest river in the region. It has many tributaries: Sieve at 60 kilometres (37 mi) long, Bisenzio at 49 kilometres (30 mi), and the Era, Elsa, Pesa, and Pescia. The drainage basin amounts to more than 8,200 square kilometres (3,200 sq mi) and drains the waters of the following subbasins:

Oldest bridge in Florence with unique setup of shops on the bridge. Ponte Vecchio, or "old bridge" is the oldest standing bridge in Florence and the only one that was not damaged during the second World War. Standing over the Arno River, Ponte Vecchio is much more than a bridge. As a famous landmark, it also tells the story of Florence. The original structutre was built in roman times but it was subsequently rebuilt. Since a lot of traffic would pass the bridge in the past, many shops set up along it. It is said that the concept of bankruptcy emerged here. When a merchant could not pay his debt, his table was broken so then he could not sell his stuff. And "broken table" in Italian translates to "banca rotta". Even today, many jewelers have their shops here making Ponte Vecchio a uniqu...
il fiume Arno, che passa in mezzo alla città, occupa un posto nella storia fiorentina alla pari con la gente che ci vive. Storicamente, la popolazione locale ha una relazione di odio-amore con l'Arno, il quale ha portato alternativamente i vantaggi del commercio, e i disastri delle alluvioni. Tra i ponti che lo attraversano il Ponte Vecchio è unico al mondo, con le caratteristiche botteghe di gioiellieri nelle casette costruite su di esso. Attraversato dal nobile Corridoio vasariano, è l'unico ponte della città ad essere passato indenne attraverso la seconda guerra mondiale. the Arno River, which passes through the city, occupies a place in the history of Florence at par with people who live there. Historically, local people have a love-hate relationship with the Arno, which in turn has b...
I made this video just as a quick demo when I was selling my Ponte Vecchio Lusso 1. People seem to be watching it, so if you have any questions about the machine I'll endeavour to answer them! It's a great machine, heavy and solidly built. Looks nice too. If you take yours apart, remember to unplug it from the mains. I stupidly forgot and gave myself a nice 240v electric shock!

PROJECTiONE.com This is a prototypical process growing out of our previous experiment CNC Pen, combining precision digital tools with loose analog tools. This method has been further developed as a study of the relationship between these tools. The process includes translating a raster image file into vector format, separated into various color levels. These vectors are then turned into surfaces and translated into g-code for the router. In this instance we have used a 3-axis CNC router to drive 12 Copic Ciao markers on museum board. The precision of the machine is offset by the bleed of the marker and the porous nature of the board. Feed rate and Z values relate directly to speed and pressure of the hand. The image chosen is of the Ponte Vecchio bridge in Florence Italy from our time the...
