“If you know just one bridge in Florence, know the Ponte Vecchio. If you know two bridges in Florence, make the second the Ponte Santa Trinita.” — Florence for Free

Crossing the Ponte Vecchio, as most visitors to Florence will likely do at some point, one cannot escape the graceful majesty of its neighbor, Ponte Santa Trinita.

If it is breathtaking (mozzafiato) by day, by evening its beauty is ethereal (etereo).

Depending on the day, or even the hour, Florence reveals a different shade of this elegant bridge, and it makes me catch my breath every single time.
It wasn’t always a vision of peaceful loveliness — seventy-four years ago, it all looked very different. More details in Thursday’s post.
Prayers & Piazzas 
marvelous, all of them!
thank you so much!
you’re welcome, Stacy😊
Lovely! And I should mention the best view of the Ponte Vecchio is from the adjacent bridges as well. Glad you enjoyed your stay. I had only 2 1/2 days, but that was wonderful!
Absolutely beautiful! A pleasure to see
I think this post is sheer showing off of the fact that you spent a long time in Florence and had plenty of opportunities for photography. But, in turn, you pay it off with beautiful pictures. I await the apparent forthcoming post-war look with some trepidation.
Lol! I do feel lucky about that time in Florence. The upcoming post has been harder to write than I expected…
Be strong.
