What Holds Venice Up: Six Bridges from the Lagoon Crossing to the Bridge of Sighs
Six crossings that carry Venice’s weight: the 1933 road bridge across the lagoon, the Istrian-stone Scalzi rebuilt in 1934, Eugenio Miozzi’s overlooked pair on the Rio Novo, Antonio da Ponte’s Rialto of 1591 and the Bridge of Sighs — a walk about who builds, rebuilds and maintains the crossings a city on water cannot live without. Our digital walk for the European Heritage Days 2026 (26–27 September).
