The Ponte Vechio is one of Florence's signature attractions. In the time of the Medici, the bridge was lined with Butcher Shops ... and the waste from the process simply fell into the river. In a masterstroke of urban renewal, Butcher Shops were forbidden and these shops now mostly sell jewellery and high fashion silks.

This bridge is terrifically photogenic. Every season, every weather condition seems to give the bridge a different personality. I could show you several dozen, but here are two of my favourites.
