The Ponte Vecchio is a medieval bridge that stretches over the Arno River in Florence, Italy. What’s more, this stunning bridge gains added charm from little shops built all along it. Previously occupied by butchers, Ferdinando I insisted goldsmiths move in, making the road cleaner and more elegant. Today these jewellery shops are still thriving. Jeannie visits Florence’s Ponte Vecchio and discovers the little masterpieces that Florence jewellers create.
