The Ponte di Rialto shops in Venice, Italy have been in business since the 15th century, although in the same location the bridge was a different one. The Rialto Bridge in Venice, Italy built in the 15th century, was wooden but had two ramps with rows of shops on either side of a corridor, and a movable center span to accommodate the masts of the vessels sailing through the Grand Canal.
When the wooden Ponte di Rialto in Venice, Italy began to deteriorate, the new bridge was built of stone (from 1588 to 1592). The current Ponte di Rialto in Venice, was designed by Antonio da Ponte in a similar design to the previous bridge. Today's bridge has three 'corridors' one on each side and the other wider one in between the two rows of...
