Ponte Santa Trinita Looking to Ponte Vecchio
Ponte Santa Trinita: non solo cordolo - Arte a modino
Video di Alessio Bernardi
arteamodino.it
Ponte Santa Trinita è uno dei ponti più belli di Firenze. Siamo tutti d'accordo. Anzi, diciamola tutta: dopo Ponte Vecchio è il ponte più bello di Firenze.
Vuoi per l'eleganza delle arcate, vuoi per le statue delle quattro stagioni a quattro angoli, Ponte Santa Trinita si distingue da tutti gli altri ponti sull'Arno.
Quello che vediamo oggi non è che il quinto Ponte Santa Trinita: dal 1252 ad oggi infatti, a causa di distruzioni causate da alluvioni o da soldati tedeschi, il ponte è crollato per quattro volte.
L'ultima ricostruzione risale al dopoguerra, quando i fiorentini istituirono un comitato, Come era e dove era, per la riedificazione del ponte nelle stesse forme e nello stesso identico luogo. L'inaugurazione avvenne il 16 maggio 1958.
Da allora nessuno è sembrato interessarsi più di tanto a Ponte Santa Trinita. Tanto il ponte era lì, fermo, faceva il suo dovere, e sopra ci passavano macchine, motorini, biciclette, autocarri ecc. (mai a nessuno a cui sia venuto in mente di farne un ponte pedonale...).
Ma nell'agosto del 2012 finalmente si torna a parlare di Ponte Santa Trinita: ma l'annoso problema qual è?!? il CORDOLO DELLA DISCORDIA!
Trattasi di un muretto in cemento alto circa 20 centimetri, nato con le intenzioni di delimitare la pista ciclabile in modo da proteggere i disgraziati ciclisti fiorentini dall'essere investiti dalle autovetture che altrimenti invaderebbero la corsia a loro dedicata.
Premetto che mi sento vicino ai ciclisti che non hanno certo vita facile ad andare in giro per le strade di Firenze. Credo però che si potesse fare uno sforzo in più affinchè il cordolo avesse un impatto meno invasivo.
Ponte Vecchio, Florence, Italy
The Ponte Vecchio (Old Bridge) is a medieval stone closed-spandrel segmental arch bridge over the Arno River, in Florence, Italy. It is noted for its shops built along it, the present tenants are jewelers, art dealers, and souvenir sellers.

Ponte Vecchio, Old Bridge, Florence, Tuscany, Italy, Europe
The Ponte Vecchio is a Medieval stone closed-spandrel segmental arch bridge over the Arno River, in Florence, Italy, noted for still having shops built along it, as was once common. Butchers initially occupied the shops; the present tenants are jewelers, art dealers and souvenir sellers. The Ponte Vecchio's two neighbouring bridges are the Ponte Santa Trinita and the Ponte alle Grazie. The bridge spans the Arno at its narrowest point where it is believed that a bridge was first built in Roman times, when the via Cassia crossed the river at this point. The Roman piers were of stone, the superstructure of wood. The bridge first appears in a document of 996. After being destroyed by a flood in 1117 it was reconstructed in stone but swept away again in 1333 save two of its central piers, as noted by Giovanni Villani in his Nuova Cronica. It was rebuilt in 1345, Giorgio Vasari recorded the tradition in his day, that attributed its design to Taddeo Gaddi, besides Giotto one of the few artistic names of the trecento still recalled two hundred years later. Modern historians present Neri di Fioravanti as a possible candidate. Sheltered in a little loggia at the central opening of the bridge is a weathered dedication stone, which once read Nel trentatrè dopo il mille-trecento, il ponte cadde, per diluvio dell' acque: poi dieci anni, come al Comun piacque, rifatto fu con questo adornamento. The Torre dei Mannelli was built at the southeast corner of the bridge to defend it. The bridge consists of three segmental arches: the main arch has a span of 30 meters (98 feet) the two side arches each span 27 meters (89 feet). The rise of the arches is between 3.5 and 4.4 meters (11½ to 14½ feet), and the span-to-rise ratio 5:1. It has always hosted shops and merchants who displayed their goods on tables before their premises, after authorization of the Bargello (a sort of a lord mayor, a magistrate and a police authority). The back shops (retrobotteghe) that may be seen from upriver, were added in the seventeenth century.
It is said that the economic concept of bankruptcy originated here: when a money-changer could not pay his debts, the table on which he sold his wares (the banco) was physically broken (rotto) by soldiers, and this practice was called bancorotto (broken table; possibly it can come from banca rotta which means broken bank). Not having a table anymore, the merchant was not able to sell anything. During World War II, the Ponte Vecchio was not destroyed by Germans during their retreat of August 4, 1944, unlike all other bridges in Florence. This was allegedly, according to many locals and tour guides, because of an express order by Hitler. Access to Ponte Vecchio was, however, obstructed by the destruction of the buildings at both ends, which have since been rebuilt using a combination of original and modern design. In order to connect the Palazzo Vecchio (Florence's town hall) with the Palazzo Pitti, in 1565 Cosimo I de' Medici had Giorgio Vasari build the Vasari Corridor above it. To enforce the prestige of the bridge, in 1593 the Medici Grand Dukes prohibited butchers from selling there; their place was immediately taken by several gold merchants. The corporative association of butchers had monopolised the shops on the bridge since 1442. A stone with an inscription from Dante (Paradiso xvi. 140-7) records the spot at the entrance to the bridge where Buondelmonte de' Buondelmonti was murdered on behalf of the Amidei, in 1215, initiating the urban fighting of the Guelfs and Ghibellines. Along the Ponte Vecchio, there can be seen many padlocks affixed in various places, especially to the railing around the statue of Benvenuto Cellini. This is a recent tradition for the Ponte Vecchio, although it has been practiced in Russia and in Asia before. It was perhaps introduced by the padlock shop owner at the end of the bridge. It is popularly connected to idea of love and lovers: by locking the padlock and throwing the key into the river, the lovers became eternally bonded. This is an example of the negative impact of mass tourism: thousands of padlocks needed to be removed frequently, spoiling or damaging the structure of the centuries-old bridge; however, it seems to have decreased after the city administration put a sign on the bridge mentioning a €160 penalty for those caught locking something to the fence. There is a similar ongoing padlock phaenomena at Ponte Milvio, due to one of Federico Moccia's books. The bridge was severely damaged in the 1966 flood of the Arno. The bridge is mentioned in the aria O mio babbino caro by Giacomo Puccini.

Italy. Florence. Church of Santa Trinita
Santa Trinita (Holy Trinity) is a church in central Florence, Italy. 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.
Even though the Italian word for trinity is trinità, with an accent indicating stress on the last vowel, the Florentine pronunciation puts the stress on the first vowel, and the name is therefore written without an accent; sometimes, it is accented as trìnita to indicate the unusual pronunciation.
Ricostruzione del Ponte Santa Trinita
Il 16 marzo 1958 viene ufficialmente inaugurato il ponte a Santa Trinita, ricostruito “dov’era e com’era” dopo essere stato minato e distrutto nella notte tra il 3 e il 4 agosto 1944 dalle truppe tedesche in ritirata da Firenze.
La necessità di ricostruire il ponte nelle sue forme originarie è sostenuta in modo quasi unanime fin da subito. Mentre gli Alleati utilizzano i ruderi delle pile per sostenere i tralicci di un ponte Bailey, già alla fine di agosto del 1944 il Comitato Toscano di Liberazione Nazionale incarica Riccardo Gizdulich di dirigere le operazioni di recupero dei frammenti del ponte, un’attività che impegna tecnici e volontari per più di un anno. Architetto in forza alla Soprintendenza ai Monumenti, Gizdulich inizia anche a lavorare a un progetto per la ricostruzione, in vista del quale iniziano subito rilievi, indagini, campagne fotografiche. Negli stessi mesi, l’amministrazione comunale affida l’incarico di studiare la ricostruzione del ponte a Emilio Brizzi, un ingegnere all’epoca assistente alla Facoltà di Architettura.
