The area
Address
Neighbourhood: San Polo
The Rialto Bridge is the most famous sight along the Grand Canal in San Polo, smallest of Venice's six sestieri (districts) and by far the busiest neighbourhood. Morning Venetians arrive to peruse the markets for fish, fruit and vegetables, while shops display goods from cheese to wine to desserts. San Silvestro and Rialto Market vaporetto (water taxi) stops add to the steady stream of foot traffic. San Polo is defined by churches including Basilica dei Frari, one of the most important churches sought by art lovers.

Out of the way bridge that is in a quiet spot, out of the normal bustle of Venice. Interesting historical point of reference with as much of a colorful history as Ponte dei Pugni.

Oh, we were so tired and we lay by that bridge to rest. So peaceful and spirit resting...
Watch the gondolas passing by.

With such a name we had to take a look at the Ponte delle Tette in the San Polo area. It harkened back to Venice’s days of Courtesans and bordellos - now all a part the storied history. Actually not very remarkable.

Ponte delle Tette is one of the many small bridges in Venice.
It is the San Polo area and used to lead you into Venice's red light district.

A small bridge in Venice that takes its name ("Bridge of the Tits") from the use of the bridge by prostitutes, who were encouraged to stand topless there to entice customers and convert suspected homosexuals. Once was one of the red-light districts of Venice.

Just another of the many small bridges in Venice. There is no bad areas of Venice to visit. But just typical.

Before our 19th visit to the city we bought a great book '111 secret places to visit in Venice' so this attraction was on our map of things to find/see. Before our visit, it took ages to find this location on our map, so we were determined when there to find it.
Just a normal, ordinary bridge in the San Polo district. This was the centre of the red light district centuries ago, where the 'ladies of the night' lured their customers showing lots of flesh to lure them in.
Once found, we moved onto the Bridge of Fists

The views here are probably a bit less interesting than they were a few of hundred years ago. It's also a bit difficult to find. Fondamenta delle Tette is not marked on many maps, but Calle de l'Agnella which leads to it from the north is.
We recently came here 10 years after our first visit. Jenny kept her top on this time. To be fair, she did on the first occasion as well.

Because the area around the bridge used to be a "Red District", the bridge was used by the prostitutes to attract their customers that were coming by the canal by standing topless (the translation of the name is Bridge of the Tits).
Like many other dozens of bridges in the city, this one is not so special (except the story), but worth a stop if you're in the area.
