The first bridge (1252) was built of wood; it collapsed several times and was rebuilt in stone. The bridge as we see it today was designed by Ammannati who turned to Michelangelo for advice and inspiration for the three arches. The bridge was destroyed by the retreating Germans on 4 August 1944 and was rebuilt “where it was, the way it was” in 1958. The Ponte Santa Trinita/Via Maggio area was part of the “solemn itinerary” that the grand duke’s retinue followed from the seat of government (Palazzo Vecchio) to the Palazzo Pitti, the Medici residence.
