The Ponte Vecchio Bridge

• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide for Tuscany, Italy.
Image #: P-9210
Photographer's Description
The Ponte Vecchio is perhaps Italy's most famous bridge, due to both its architectural brilliance and historical significance. During the Second World War, it was the only bridge to escape the grenades of German soldiers - some say as direct orders from Hitler himself, while others site disobedience. Nonetheless, its exclusion from destruction is a testament to its distinction.
