The Ponte Vecchio, or Old Bridge, spans the Arno River in Florence, Italy. It was built in the Middle Ages. As one of the few still-inhabited bridges in the world, it serves as a symbol for the city and attracts tourists from all around. It spans the narrowest part of the Arno River.

The main arch of the bridge has a span of 30 meters, and the two side arches each have a span of 27 meters. The arches range in height from 3.5 meters to 4.4 meters.

Both the Vasari corridor and the memorial to Benvenuto Cellini, built by Raffaello Romanelli and dedicated on May 26, 1901, are located on panoramic terraces in the bridge's central arch. In honor of the 400th anniversary of Cellini's birth, this piece was installed alongside a fountain.

The pedestal features characteristic Cellinian ornamentation, such as festoons, masks, lion's paws, ram's heads (Cosimo I's insignia), and so on.
