The Ponte Vecchio dates back to 1354 and was the home of the butchers of Florence, they cut and chopped and the leftovers simply went into the River Arno. In the 1500's Cosimo the first kicked them off because of the smell and put the jewelers in.
They remain today. Even the Nazis tried to destroy this bridge but she stands today as one of the top jewelry markets in the world.
