Firenze - Florence

Le Ponte Vecchio (vieux pont, en italien) est un pont bâti de Florence, en Italie. Il est à la fois le pont, la rue piétonne, la galerie marchande, le plus ancien (XIVe siècle), le plus célèbre et le plus touristique de la ville, dont il est un des emblèmes.
Un simbolo eterno di Firenze - Costruito vicino ad un attraversamento di epoca romana, il Ponte Vecchio fu fino al 1218 l'unico ponte che attraversava l' Arno a Firenze. Il ponte, come lo si vede attualmente, fu costruto nel 1345 dopo che una violenta alluvione aveva distrutto il precedente. Durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale le truppe tedesche distrussero tutti i ponti di Firenze, eccetto questo. Tuttavia bloccarono l'accesso al ponte distruggendo le due costruzioni medievali ai suoi lati. Il 4 Novembre 1966 il Ponte Vecchio sopportò miracolosamente l' enorme ondata di acqua dell' Arno in piena, che ruppe i propri argini causando l' alluvione di Firenze. Commissionato dai Medici, permetteva loro di spostarsi da Palazzo Vecchio a Palazzo Pitti senza dover attraversare le strade di Firenze, in tutta sicurezza. Al tempo della costruzione del Corridoio, sul Ponte Vecchio erano riunite le botteghe dei macellai, che probabilmente con la loro attività disturbavano il passaggio dei Medici, che nel 1593 le fecero spostare, sostituendole con le più "decorose" botteghe orafe.
Ponte Vecchio - Florence, Italy.
An eternal symbol of Florence - Built near a Roman crossing, the Ponte Vecchio was until 1218 the only bridge that crossed the Arno in Florence. The bridge, as we see it today, was built in 1345 after a violent flood had destroyed the previous one. During the Second World War the German troops destroyed all the bridges of Florence, except this one. However, they blocked access to the bridge by destroying the two medieval buildings on its sides. On 4 November 1966 the Ponte Vecchio miraculously endured the huge wave of water of the Arno in flood, which broke its banks causing the flood of Florence. Commissioned by the Medici, it allowed them to move from Palazzo Vecchio to Palazzo Pitti without having to safely cross the streets of Florence. At the time of the construction of the Corridor, the butchers' shops were gathered on the Ponte Vecchio, which probably with their activity disturbed the passage of the Medici, who in 1593 made them move, replacing them with the more "decorous" goldsmith shops.

How could I go to Florence without photographing this impressive building. Even more so because it is probably the most famous photo motif in this city.
In fact, the Ponte Vecchio was my first motif this morning. As you can see, we're still a long way from sunrise here.
This unusual structure was completed in 1345, making it the oldest bridge in the city. It is always overwhelming for me when I see when such structures were built.
Incidentally, that happened here at a time when things were not going so well in Europe. It was a century of crisis, poverty and disease (including the plague). Much of this was triggered by what now serves as an explanation for pretty much everything, climate change (surprise, it's happened before).
However, it got significantly colder back then, which resulted in failed harvests and extreme weather. Incidentally, before that, during one of Europe's heydays, it was significantly warmer than today.
Wie könnte ich nach Florenz fahren ohne dieses beeindruckende Bauwerk zu fotografieren. Noch dazu, da es das wohl berühmteste Fotomotiv dieser Stadt ist.
Tatsächlich war die Ponte Vecchio mein erstes Motiv an diesem Morgen. Wie Ihr seht, sind wir hier noch ein ganzes Stück vom Sonnenaufgang entfernt.
Diese ungewöhnliche Bauwerk wurde bereits im Jahre 1345 fertig gestellt und ist damit die älteste Brücke der Stadt. Es ist für mich immer wieder überwältigend wenn ich sehe, wann solche Bauwerke errichtet wurden.
Das geschah hier übrigens zu einer Zeit, in der es in Europ garnicht so gut lief. Es war ein Jahrhundert der Krisen, der Armut und der Krankheiten (einschließlich der Pest). Vieles davon ausgelöst vom etwas, dass heute als Erklärung für so ziemlich alles dient, dem Klimawandel (was für eine Überraschung, das gab es ja früher schon).
Allerdings wurde es damals deutlich kälter, was Missernten und Extremwetter zur Folge hatte. Zuvor, in einer der Blütenzeiten Europas, war es übrigens deutlich wärmer als heute.

Florence, the capital of Tuscany, is an open-air museum. Here, I will post some photos of the city taken during the New Year festive season. There was no snow, but that didn't stop the city from dressing up in festive clothes.

Florence is home to some of the best art museums in the world, the city has always seemed to be a patron of the arts and a ravenous implementor of new sciences all except for a brief period that ended in a bonfire. The Ponte Vecchio (The Old Bridge) has been around long enough to earns its moniker, the current bridge is its third iteration (1345) as the Arno used to be prone to flooding, before this there was a Roman bridge not far from its footings dating to 125BC. Called the “Bridge of Gold” for the number of goldsmiths that ply their trade on the bridge this all due to the Medici family, in Medieval times this was the home of cities butchers with easy access to the river for dumping the Medici couldn’t abide the stench as they trod over the masses below so had the butcher’s sent packing.

The light is divine, on Porto-Vecchio
The clouds and the spleen, tattooed on my skin...
I don't go, I swim, in the murmur of the waves
And I left your name, and my heart on the beach, aah hah ah
A sigh is drawn on the Porto-Vecchio
Immortal, murderer, you're out of the sea...
I don't cry, I swim, in the murmur of the waves, aah hah ah
I forgot your name, and your body on the beach, aah hah ah, aah hah ah
You let go of my hand, on the Porto-Vecchio.
I smile at the venom, which burned my back
I'm not crying, I'm swimming, in the sea of flames, aah hah ah
To forget your body, to get over you, aah hah ah
I'll be back tomorrow, on the Porto-Vecchio...
To forget your hand, and the taste of your skin, aah hah ah
You let go of my hand, on the Porto-Vecchio.
I smile at the venom, which burned my back
I'm not crying, I'm swimming, in the sea of flames, aah hah ah
To forget your body, to get over you, aah hah ah...
