Anyway, for your review -

Thanh you. A bit south from where I've travelled. There's simply far too much in the north to see.

Fascinating bridge. How does it handle the spring thaw?

Justin - a beaut shot that brings back memories of my time there in 1962. The coffee, the silver work on the Ponte Vecchio and much more - thanks

Hi Gary, not sure about handling the thaw - but well, I believe it's been there a long time :wink:

It's actually the only bridge spared by the Germans.

Here's a great link to the history of the bridge -
