Il Ponte di Rialto is located only 2 minutes walking from the famous Rialto Bridge, ( the current structure was built in just three years, between 1588 and 1591, as a permanent replacement for the boat bridge and three wooden bridges that had spanned the Grand Canal at various times since the 12th Century. It remained the only way to cross the Grand Canal on foot until the Accademia Bridge was built in 1854.The Rialto Bridge's 24-foot arch was designed to allow passage of galleys, and the massive structure was built on some 12,000 wooden pilings that still support the bridge more than 400 years later. The architect, Antonio da Ponte (Anthony of the Bridge, appropriately enough), competed against such eminent designers as Michelangelo and Palladio for the contract.The bridge has three walkways: two along the outer balustrades, and a wider central walkway leading between two rows of small shops that sell jewelry, linens, Murano glass, and other items for the tourist trade). A gondola ride is the most romantic and "Venetian" way to appreciate the city's artistic splendour and immense historical heritage. |
