Overview
The Ponte Vecchio (Old Bridge) traverses the narrowest point of the Arno River. The current bridge dates to 1345, and miraculously, German troops didn’t destroy it as they fled the city during World War II. It is known for the shops along the bridge.
Sightseers’ Delight started publishing in June 2016. The site, published by The DeFeo Groupe, collects and curates content about places where historical events large and small happened. The site builds off the legacy of The Travel Trolley, which launched in June 2009. The site aimed to be a virtual version of the trolley tours offered in so many cities.
