The Ponte Santa Trìnita (Italian for Holy Trinity
Bridge, named for the ancient church in the
nearest stretch of via de' Tornabuoni) is a
Renaissance bridge spanning the Arno. The Ponte
Santa Trìnita is the oldest elliptic arch bridge
in the world, the three flattened ellipses giving
the structure its celebrated elegant appearance.
The outside spans each measure 29 m (95 ft) with
the centre span being 32 m (105 ft) in length.
The two neighbouring bridges are the Ponte
Vecchio, to the east, and the Ponte alla Carraia
to the west.

The Santa Trinita bridge was constructed from
1567 to 1569 by the Florentine architect
Bartolomeo Ammanati. Its site, downstream of the
equally remarkable Ponte Vecchio, is a major link
in the medieval street plan of Florence, which
has been bridged at this site since the
thirteenth century. The wooden bridge of 1252 was
swept away in a flood seven years later and was
rebuilt in stone and destroyed in a flood in
1333. The bridge of five arches constructed by
Taddeo Gaddi was destroyed in the flood of 1557,
which occasioned Ammanati's replacement

celebrations of Cosimo II de' Medici with Maria
Magdalena of Austria Spring by Pietro
Francavilla, Summer and Autumn by Giovanni
Caccini, and Winter by Taddeo Landini.

On 8 August 1944, the bridge was destroyed by
retreating German troops, but reconstructed in
1958 with original stones raised from the Arno or
taken from the same quarry, under the direction
of architect Riccardo Gizdulich, and engineer
Emilio Brizzi. The missing head of Primavera was
recovered from the bed of the Arno in October
1961.

Church of Santa Trinita The Column of Justice in
the Piazza outside, originates from the Baths of
Caracalla, and was a gift to Cosimo I de' Medici
by Pope Pius IV. It was used in 1565 to
commemorate the Battle of Montemurlo.

Basilica di Santa Trinità ("Holy Trinity") is a
church in central Florence. It is the mother
church of the Vallumbrosan Order of monks,
founded in 1092 by a Florentine nobleman. Nearby
is the Ponte Santa Trinita over the river
Arno. The church is famous for its Sassetti
Chapel, containing notable frescoes by Domenico
Ghirlandaio, ranked amongst 15th century
painting's masterworks, and the Bartolini
Salimbeni Chapel, with frescoes by Lorenzo
Monaco. .

The Resurrection of the Boy. This scene portrays
a posthumous miracle by St. Francis, connected to
the Sassetti family and for this reason located
in a central position of the chapel, although out
of chronological order with the death of St
Francis. It portrays the resurrection of a boy
who had died falling from Palazzo Spini Feroni, a
palace on the piazza facing Santa Trinita.

this is Genoa, where the donor spent ten years

Detail Giuliano da Sangallo (c. 14431516) was an
Italian sculptor, architect and military engineer
active during the Italian Renaissance. He was the
preferred architect of Lorenzo de' Medici, so a
significant number of his commissions came from
the Medici. For about eighteen months in
1514-1515 Giuliano acted as joint-architect to
St. Peter's together with Raphael, but owing to
age and ill-health he resigned this office about
two years before his death

Domenico Ghirlandaio Adoration of the Shepherds
1485 The Adoration of the Shepherds is
recognized as one of Ghirlandaio's masterpieces,
as well as one of the Florentine painting school.
The work shows clear influences of the Flemish
school, the artist having studied Hugo van der
Goes' Portinari Altarpiece, which had been taken
to Florence in 1483 by the Portinari family for
the church of Sant'Egidio. Ghirlandaio's
inspiration from that work is shown by
positioning and realist handling of the three
shepherds on the right, one of which is the
artist's self-portrait. The frame has the
inscription "Ipsum quem genuit adoravit Maria"
("The one giving adoration to Mary"), probably a
reference to Ghirlandaio himself.

Florence is the capital city of the region of
Tuscany and its rich historical, artistic and
cultural heritage make it one of the main tourist
destinations in Italy and Europe. Founded in the
first century A.C. by the Romans, Florence has
been through many prosperous and dark periods.
The city experienced the battles between the
Guelphs and Ghibellines, it was a Commune and
then a "Signoria" under the Medici during the
Renaissance. It was part of the Grand Duchy of
Tuscany first with the Medici and then under the
Lorraines during the 18th century, up until it
became a part of the Kingdom of Italy in 1861.
Cimabue, Dante Alighieri, Giotto, Brunelleschi,
Donatello, Botticelli and Michelangelo are just a
few of the famous Tuscan artists who contributed
to making Florence such a beautiful and important
city in the world
