At first, the bridge was used by farmers, butchers, and tanners, who occupied the shops along the bridge. Today you will mainly find jewelers, and souvenir sellers. Ponte Vecchio is a romantic spot for both locals and tourists. On the top of Ponte Vecchio runs the Vasari Corridor, a secret passageway connecting town hall to the Palazzo Pitti. The corridor was built by the Medici Family, the famous family who ruled Florence and supported many of the artists who were active in the city.
