During the first part of the walking tour that took place in Florence, we saw the Ponte Veccio, which means "old bridge." The bridge was full of different shops and is where the term "bankruptcy" originated. If the merchants couldn't make the payments, their tables on which they sold their items would physically be broken. Also during WWII, this bridge was the only bridge in Florence that was not destroyed by the nazis.
