Ponte di Rialto

The Rialto Bridge connects the commercial area of ​​the Rialto market with the streets that lead to Piazza San Marco, at a historic crossing point of the Grand Canal. At first it was a simple pontoon bridge, then a wooden bridge was thrown and finally, in 1588, this single-span stone bridge that until the 19th century was the only pedestrian connection between the two banks of the Grand Canal. The competition announced by the Republic of Venice at the beginning of the 16th century for the construction of the new bridge became a historic case because despite the illustrious architects participating including Sansovino, Palladio, Vignola, Scamozzi and perhaps even Michelangelo, the Venetian Antonio Da Ponte prevailed. 48 meters long, 22 meters wide and up to 7.50 meters high, it is supported by thousands of piles driven into the ground at the foundations of the ends. Inside, three pedestrian paths run between two rows of historic shops.

Ponte dei Sospiri

The Bridge of Sighs in Venice is the elegant treasure chest of a painful story. Having become famous as a very romantic place, chosen by anxious fiancés as a dream location to propose to their beloved, this small bridge with great fame is one of the most successful misunderstandings in the world. The misunderstanding is now well known: the sighs that gave the bridge its name are not those of lovers exchanging promises of love, but rather those of people condemned by the fearsome tribunal of the Serenissima who were led across this bridge to their cells... cells from which, the unfortunate prisoners knew, they would never leave.
