Description
Statue of Spring, Florence, Italy
A marble statue representing the season of Spring, by sculptor Pietro Francavilla, stands against a clear blue sky, exuding an air of antiquity and grace. **" Four ornamental statues of the Seasons were added to the Santa Trinita bridge in 1608, as part of the wedding celebrations of Cosimo II de' Medici with Maria Magdalena of Austria: Spring by Pietro Francavilla."
"On the night between 3-4 August 1944, the bridge was destroyed by retreating German troops on the advance of the British 8th Army. A Bailey bridge was built for temporary use by the Royal Engineers. The bridge was reconstructed in 1958 with original stones raised from the Arno[4] or taken from the same quarry of Boboli gardens, under the direction of architect Riccardo Gizdulich, who examined florentine archives, and engineer Emilio Brizzi.[5] The missing head of Primavera (Spring) was recovered from the bed of the Arno in October 1961."
