The famous sculptures located in Piazza della Signoria have references to the political events of Florence. The David (the original is located in the Accademia Gallery) was created by Michelangelo and positioned in front of Palazzo Vecchio to symbolize the power of the Florentine Republic in contrast with the tyranny of the Medici.

Built near a Roman-era crossing, the Ponte Vecchio was until 1218 the only bridge that crossed the Arno in Florence.
Above Ponte Vecchio you can see a part of the beautiful Vasari Corridor. This corridor, built in 1565 by Giorgio Vasari, passes just above the goldsmith shops that currently stand on either side of the bridge. Commissioned by the Medici, it allowed them to move from Palazzo Vecchio to Palazzo Pitti without having to cross the streets of Florence, in complete safety. At the time of the construction of the Corridor, the butchers' shops were gathered on the Ponte Vecchio, whose activity probably disturbed the passage of the Medici, who in 1593 had them moved, replacing them with the more "decorous" goldsmith shops.

We loved our day trip to Florence from Rome! And, we especially loved the train ride. It was our first time taking the train while traveling in Italy, and we would do it again in a heartbeat. The walking tour in Florence was really nice, and we thoroughly enjoyed the restaurant the guide recommended for lunch. Florence is such a beautiful city! I think my husband and I will go back and stay for a longer visit. One day just wasn't enough. Highly recommend this tour!

We enjoyed the tour to Florence. Our guide Catherine pointed out the historical locations and still allowed us time to shop. Excellent lunch at Il Porcospino with Franco. We requested Catherine for our Venice trip as she made our tour so interesting and informative and easy. Thank you La Vacanza Travel.
