The Ponte vecchio (old bridge ) was built in 1345. It is the oldest and most famous bridge across the Arno. in the 16th century it was home to butchers until Cosimo 1st moved into the Palazzo Pitti across the river. He couldn’t stand the stench so he evicted the meat cutters and moved in gold and silversmiths, tradesmen who occupy the bridge to this day...
