The Old Bridge of Cicagna in the Fontanabuona Valley

Il Ponte Vecchio di Cicagna in Val Fontanabuona

The Ponte Vecchio of Cicagna in the Fontanabuona valley.
Crossing the village of Cicagna I stopped for a moment on the Ponte della Vittoria and from there I photographed what I believe to be the oldest part of the village, with its beautiful stone bridge.
I searched a lot online and found that the bridge is called Ponte Vecchio and crosses the Lavagna stream.
When I looked for more historical information I only found it on the Ponte Fieschi which I believe is the same structure.

Maybe someone more experienced can help me understand? Add a comment or go to the bottom of the site to read what other visitors have written.

Where is the bridge located:

The town was under the dominion of the Malaspina family until 1114, when it was incorporated into the lands of the Republic of Genoa. In an ancient document dating back to 1143 it is mentioned with the toponym of Plicania, which was then transformed into Chinaglia and then into today's Cicagna.
Always an important point in the Fontanabuona valley, the community was included in the podestà of Rapallo and subsequently in its captaincy (established in 1608), in the historic “quarter” of Oltremonte.

The houses on Ponte Vecchio in Florence

The houses on Ponte Vecchio in Florence
Ponte Vecchio is probably the most famous historic bridge in the world and it is also famous because there are houses built on top of it (and because the Vasari Corridor also passes above the houses).
This is one of the many views of the bridge portrayed from Lungarno.

The portico under the Vasari Corridor in Florence

Il portico sotto al corridoio vasariano a Firenze

The portico under the Vasari Corridor in Florence.
When visiting Florence and Ponte Vecchio, you cannot help but notice this portico that runs for about ten meters between the bridge and the Uffizi.
This portico is nothing other than the support for the famous and mysterious Vasari Corridor, a sort of secret passage built by Cosimo I de' Medici.

The Vasari Corridor was built in just 5 months at the behest of the then Duke Cosimo I de’ Medici in 1565 by the architect Giorgio Vasari, who had already built the current Uffizi Gallery. The work was commissioned to coincide with the marriage between the Grand Duke’s son, Francesco, and the Archduchess of Austria Giovanna of Austria.

Ponte Vecchio seen from Lungarno degli Archibusieri

Ponte Vecchio a Firenze visto dal Lungarno degli Archibusieri

Ponte Vecchio in Florence seen from Lungarno degli Archibusieri.
When you want to photograph the very famous Ponte Vecchio, one of the symbols of Florence, you usually walk along the Arno river and look for the best spot.
In this case I moved to the end of what is called Lungarno degli Archibusieri (that small portico on the right) that from the bridge reaches almost to the Uffizi square.
The three arches of the bridge perhaps deserve a few lines, it is already so famous and well-known.

Beautiful Florence and its wonders seen from above

Beautiful Florence and its wonders seen from above.
A weekend spent in Florence, at the beginning of October but with summer temperatures is unmatched.
I didn't take many photos this time (also because there are tons of them on the net) but obviously I couldn't help but publish some taken from the splendid Piazzale Michelangelo, the most famous panoramic point in the city.
I'll add more in the next few days.
