[As a very young man, I thought] of Europe as a place that could not exist except in the imagination, in glorious dreams, and through the careful lies of the silver screen.

PONTE STORTO (PUENTE TORCIDO)

(Español / English)

Hay 7 puentes en Venecia que llevan el nombre de "Ponte Storto" (puente torcido). La lógica dictaría que un puente se construye utilizando el camino más corto entre las 2 orillas que se van a unir. Por tanto, un puente debería formar un ángulo recto con las orillas. Sin embargo, hay que tener en cuenta que la ciudad de Venecia está construida sobre 116 islas que se desarrollaron independientemente unas de otras y, por tanto, una calle que daba al río de una isla no siempre coincidía con la correspondiente en la otra isla. En tales casos, cuando había que unir las dos islas, era necesario recurrir a puentes no perpendiculares, que se denominaban "puentes torcidos". Siete de ellos también han sido denominados así en la toponimia. Éste es el más corto de los puentes torcidos (sólo 4,5 m) y une el Sestiere de San Polo con el de Santa Croce.

PONTE STORTO (CROOKED BRIDGE)

There are 7 bridges in Venice that have the name "Ponte Storto." Logic would have it that a bridge is built using the shortest path between the 2 banks to be joined. Therefore a bridge should have a right angle to the banks. However, it must be considered that the city of Venice is built on 116 islands that developed independently of each other, and therefore a calle that faced the rio of one island did not always coincide with a corresponding one on the other island. In these cases, when it was desired to join the two islands, it was necessary to resort to non-perpendicular, bridges that are called "crooked bridges." Seven of these have also been so named in toponymy. This one is the shortest of the Crooked Bridges (just 4.5 meters long) and connects the Sestiere of San Polo to that of Santa Croce.

Italy, Florence - Santa Croce

[olemisekunst]

Another place that was definitely worth the visit was Santa Croce. It was huge and there were tombs in there. The graves of Machiavelli, Galileo Galilei, Michelangelo. There were like sixteen chapels is that place. It also had a dress code (covered knees, no bare shoulders).
