This is the Ponte Vecchio (PON-te Vekh-io). The current structure was completed in 1345...which is a very long time ago. I can't even imagine what has taken place on this bridge! Most things in this country are more of the same-old. The history of Italy dates back way farther than our country, the United States, could ever hope to. I continue to hear bit and pieces of the history of Italy and I'm very impressed. The vast, [seemingly] never-ending story of Italy's history makes me prance away from even tackling it (but I'm certainly trying), and each day it makes me realize how young my country really is. Take a moment today and think about it! This bridge, the Ponte Vecchio-1345. The American Revolutionary War took place 1775-1783. I hope this puts it into perspective for you!
Ciao for now!
