Description
"The Ponte Vecchio [designed by Taddeo Gaddi] is the oldest bridge in Florence., has three segmental arches springing boldly from massive piers to withstand the waters of the Arno...while along both sides of its roadway are the small shops of the goldsmith's quarter. The corridor above the shops is by Vasari." --Fletcher, p.757.
