Quick Glance: Florence’s Ponte Vecchio Set for Extensive Two-Year Restoration

Florence’s iconic Ponte Vecchio in Italy is undergoing a two-year renovation costing about €2 million to bring it back to its former splendor. This marks the first major restoration and cleaning of the bridge, despite its regular maintenance and previous renovations to maintain stability.

The upcoming restoration will involve cleaning the entire bridge to remove algae, moss, lichens, weeds, and chemical deposits. Previous joints will be upgraded, the stone will be reinforced, and the footpath’s stone will be restored as well.

Work on the upper section of the bridge is scheduled to start in late 2024, while the lower part will be renovated in the summers of 2025 and 2026. Marchesi Antinori, a prominent Italian winemaking family, is contributing around half of the necessary funds for the project.

In Italy, private donors supporting the restoration of historic monuments have become more common due to reduced government budgets. Companies like Tod’s and Diesel have previously pledged significant amounts towards the restoration of cultural landmarks like the Colosseum and the Rialto Bridge in Venice.
