I think the cross section between the people that would read
* "Ponte Vecchio" as "old bridge"
* and not know what the Ponte Vecchio actually is
* and would interpret the name as a bad thing
is probably small enough that it doesn't matter.
- tannhaeuser 6y agoNot sure an Italian wouldn't be irritated by "old bridge" as the name of a supposedly high-end electronics product even when (I'm assuming) most if not all Italians of course know the place; "Ponte Nuove (Nuovo?)" could make some sense at least. What's with the bridge metaphor and cultural appropriation anyway?
