Ponte di Mezzo
Ponte di Mezzo dal Lungarno (L. Corevi , Comune di Pisa)At the end of the sixteenth century, Pisa was experiencing a period of rebirth after the continuous wars against Florence. With the Grand Duchy ofTuscany, many of the most important institutions, such as the Order of the Knights of Santo Stefano, or the Magistracy of the Sea Consuls, attracted new social classes and merchants. The University was growing again and the study of science became increasingly intense, thanks also to the abandonment of many ancient theories following the Council of Trent. In this context was born Galileo Galilei,who was able to see a Lungarno in continuous activity, with boats loaded with goods and quays equipped with the most innovative machinery for lifting the heaviest loads.
