“Due Ponti (Rio Terrà, Fondamenta dei)” from Curiosità Veneziane by Giuseppe Tassini translated by René Seindal
The Rio di San Leonardo was interred in 1818, ostensibly for economic reasons, even though the locals complained.
Rio del Isola was a canal in Venice which was filled in and joined up with the Lista di Spagna to form the start of the current Strada Nova
If everything is old in Venice, then what about the bridges? Well, surprise, most of them are not. In fact, 3/4 of the bridges are modern.
In Venice everybody walks, but why has Venice become a pedestrian city, when it is constructed around canals and boats.
