Ponte delle Tette
This small San Polo bridge is a brief urban-history waypoint. Its unusual name recalls the Carampane area's former sex trade, rather than an elaborate monument or a major canal viewpoint.
Why go
Ponte delle Tette adds a social-history detail to a walk through San Polo. The name, meaning Bridge of Breasts, is associated with sex workers displaying themselves in the former Carampane red-light district. It points toward the Republic's regulation of everyday life, beyond the grand institutions around San Marco.
What to look for
A small canal crossing sits within the San Polo quarter.
The bridge name recalls the former Carampane red-light district.
Useful to know
Fold the bridge into a San Polo walk rather than making a separate journey.
