Ponte Vecchio
Ponte Vecchio can be the most recognized icon of Florence, and its graceful arches, covered by a mixture of stores, are certainly one of the most beautiful scenes in the city.The bridge was traditionally the House of Talented Orphevre stores in Florence, and a walk on it shows another blinding range of fine jewelry.The purpose of the bridge, of course, was to link the two parts of Arno, and the doctors had to go frequently between their Palazzo Vecchio offices and their apartments in the Pitti Palace.So they ordered the architect Vasari to build a passage, officially called Percorso del Prin (Prince's Passage), but now more often known as Corridio Vasariano, Vasari Corridor.It's not just a hall;Lining their walls is an invaluable collection of portraits, mostly self-portraits, made by artists including Rembrandt, Leonardo da Vinci, Rafael, Michelangelo and Velásquez
