[[Immagine:Ponte Rialto '800.jpg|400px|right]]The '''Rialto Bridge''' is the oldest bridge was built to cross [[Grand Canal]].
The '''Rialto Bridge''', that by a wide arch of 28 meters wide and 22 meters high above the line media tide 7.5 meters, crosses the [[Grand Canal]], is and remains the king of all the Venetian bridges.

This bridge sums up in his old name all the glorious history of the life of [[Venice]] commercial and seafaring: majestic giant that, as a triumphal arch thrown on the '''Canalazzo''', has always dominated in all popular festivities Venetian and still dominates particularly in [[Regata Storica 2012|Historical Regatta]], which assists, silent witness to the passage of the picturesque procession of [[Imbarcazioni tipiche della laguna|Bissone]], the [[Gondolas]] attired in party boats infiorate and fast '''Gondolini''' who compete to get the flag, as well as in past centuries was covered with damask drapes to greet the [[Bucintoro]] blazing golds and silvers.

<flickr>1106866705|m|left|Visto da una gondola</flickr>On the ''' Insula of Rivoaltum ''' settled one of the first colonies of the Veneto, where, in place of the [[Campo San Giacometto]], was operating the market and the commercial exchange of goods and equipment of ships cargo and already in 1264 it could move from one side to the other of the largest channel [[Venice]], the [[Grand Canal]], on a bridge '''juxtaposed boats''' and then on a '''wooden bridge''' which, by the nature of the building material, was short-lived.
Replaced several times always in wood, is immortalized in 1500 by [[Jacopo de Barbari]] with the central opening with a '''drawbridge''' to be able to pass the great tree-lined vessels. At the beginning of the XVI '''Senate''' century decided that would be built a stone bridge, but fire, pestilence, and war against the turkish postponed the start of work to 1580.

'Only in 1591 the construction of the bridge we see today was completed and was the only bridge in [[Venice]] that crossed the [[Grand Canal]] until 1854, year of construction of the [[Ponte dell'Accademia|iron bridge]] connecting the [[Campo della Carità|Field of Charity]] in [[Dorsoduro]] with [[Campo San Vidal]] in [[San Marco|San Marco District]] in front of the [[Gallerie dell'Accademia|Academy Gallery]] just called [[Ponte dell'Accademia|Bridge Academy]]

The twelve thousand trunks of elm wood and a host of larch planks that support it, still hold the single arch of over 28 meters of light and the twenty-four accompanying workshops to groups of six ramps on each side, sharing the climbs on a power station, about twenty feet wide, with broad steps grouped in five, and two sides, each about three meters wide, formed by a single endless ramp from the top of the bridge rests.

Two large arches unite at the center of the rows of shops. South on the archivolt, the carved figures of the Angel Gabriel on the one hand, the other of the Virgin in the act to receive the heavenly message, with the Dove between them, reminiscent of the legendary date of foundation of Venice, which occurred, according to ancient tradition, March 25th, the Feast of the Annunciation, in the year 421.
The date is mentioned, along with the construction of the bridge, the epigraph engraved on the four piers.

«''Pascale Ciconia Vene tiarum Duce - anno Cristi MDXCI Vrbis conditae MCLXX - curantibus Aloysio Georgio Proc. - M. Barbaro Eq. et Proc. - Jacobo Foscareno Eq. et Proc.''»

Opposite on the archivolt are carved figures of '''San Marco''' with the lion, and '''San Teodoro''', the current and former patron of the city. These aspects are works by '''Tiziano Aspetti'''.
The figures of the Annunciation, the Archangel Gabriel, Mary and the dove in the center on the key that seems to transmigrate to Mary by the Archangel, are works by '''Agostino Rubini''', all done just completed the construction the bridge, which was to cost a total of 250,000 ducats, ten times the expenditure for the erection of the previous wooden bridge.

==Story==
[[Immagine:DeBarbari rialto.JPG|400px|right]] The need to merge the banks of the canal, to make market more accessible, led to the construction of a bridge of boats in 1180, called "Quartarolo" from the name of the coin that was for the pedestrians to cross, as well as the affected [[Jacopo de Barbari]] in the popular perspective map dated 1500.

Built on pali in 1264, was destroyed in 1310 by conspirators [[Bajamonte Tiepolo]] retired after the failed attempt to seize the throne as Duke's last attempt to escape capture and punishment.

Rebuilt in wood, collapsed in 1450 because of the large number of people who flocked to see the shift in [[Grand Canal]] of the Marquise of Ferrara.

[[Immagine:Carpaccio rialto.jpg|400px|left]] Was then reconstructed again, but larger, bascule, with shops along its entire length and closed by gates, as is represented by the famous painting [[Carpaccio]], exposed in the [[Accademia]] of [[Venice]].

Fallen in part in 1524, the Republic of costs in subsequent years, significant digits for the maintenance of the bridge, which being of wood, lasted too little. Banned then a competition for its stone building which was attended by many of the most famous architects of the time. It was a discarded draft [[Michelangelo]], James [[Sansovino]] and that of [[Palladio]]. [[Image: Canaletto rialto capriccio.jpg | 400px | right]] The dispute concerned the need for a single arc and had not been divided into three bays.

A bridge with shops, should be safe and sound and let the boats pass beneath it, even the greatest, to access the [[Fontego]], the Venetian house with attached warehouse for the storage of goods.

[[Immagine:Palladio rialto.JPG|400px|left]] The historical vicissitudes delayed the construction, the plague of 1576 and the fire in [[Palazzo Ducale]] in December of 1577 forced the magistrates to postpone the construction of the bridge, so that [[Canaletto]] painted the designs of [[Palladio]] in a famous ''whim'', as an anticipation of what would have been built later. But not always the story follows the path indicated favorable.

Construction began after endless discussions and hesitations, especially to assess the economic interests of the owners of shops on the old bridge in 1588 under the Doge Pasquale Cicogna and the direction was entrusted to [[Antonio Da Ponte]], one of the most talented and Venetian engineers aware of the time, already the author of some restoration work to the Venetian government, such as [[Palazzo Ducale]] after the devastating fire of 1577, which was completed in 1592.

==Curiosity==
<flickr>5478296859</flickr> <flickr>5478296711</flickr>*The construction was often delayed for economic reasons in the first place, given the substantial outlay by the Venetian state, but also for personal reasons of the various owners of the shops located on the wooden bridge that would not leave their business, thereby losing their support throughout the construction period of new building.

* Among the critics of that time, tells a story popular, there were a man and a woman. The man was saying, «'' You will not succeed in concluding the construction of this bridge might collapse before being finalized. It will be finished when it'' - and pointed to the male appendage - ''put'' the nail.» The woman exclaimed: «'' It will never be completed! I bet this'' - and he pointed to the lower abdomen -'' I'll burn me if they can finish it!''». Maybe they did not know who else had been cast by many centuries arches of much larger size. On the capitals of two pillars of [[Palazzo dei Camerlenghi]], at the foot of the bridge, are two carved bas-reliefs representing a man squatting, with a third leg from the foot markedly unghiato that grows between the two normal, and a woman squatting on the flames . Would, according to tradition, the two opponents crestfallen architect [[Da Ponte]].

* The Rialto Bridge has 42 steps for each side ramp, which are lower than those central to allow trucks to transport goods to pass through it easily, and twelve to the '''Riva del Buso''', and fifteen to the ''' Riva del Vin''', near the [[Palazzo dei Camerlenghi]] are 18, to the '''Riva del Ferro''' are 15. The central two ramps, however, consist of five groups of five steps each, and six groups of three, for a total of 43, to the market, while to the [[Campo San Bartolomeo]] are "only" 37 (5x5 and 4x3). To cross it then you can go down a minimum of 80 steps to a maximum of 120 steps.
