Sestiere San Polo
description of the itinerary
E’ uno dei sestieri più piccoli, contraddistinto dalla presenza di case che svolgono anche la funzione di botteghe. Gli abitanti amano molto la buona tavola per cui dedicano una cura particolare alla preparazione dei cibi tradizionali di Venezia basati su ingredienti naturali dell’area veneta. Il visitatore può assaggiare le tipiche pietanze veneziane nelle numerose osterie o nei bàcari. Si raccomanda, in particolare, di assaggiare i rinomati “cicheti”. Da visitare a San Polo: Ponte di Rialto, Palazzo dei Camerlenghi, Chiesa di S.Giacometto, Chiesa di S.Aponal, Le Fabbriche Nuove, Chiesa di S.Cassiano, Campo San Polo, Casa Goldoni, Basilica dei Frari, Scuola Grande di San Rocco, Scuola Grande di S.Giovanni Evangelista.

Rialto Bridge view hide
The Ponte di Rialto (Rialto Bridge) is the true heart of Venice. The current structure was built in just three years, between 1588 and 1591, as a permanent replacement for the boat bridge and three wooden bridges that had spanned the Grand Canal at various times since the 12th Century. It remained the only way to cross the Grand Canal on foot until the Accademia Bridge was built in 1854. The Rialto Bridge’s 7.5-meter arch was designed to allow passage of galleys, and the massive structure was built on some 12,000 wooden pilings that still support the bridge more than 400 years later. The bridge has three walkways: two along the outer balustrades, and a wider central walkway between two rows of small shops that sell jewellery, linens, Murano glass, and other items for the tourist trade.

Carlo Goldoni's House view hide
The museum of Ca’ Goldoni is a exquisite, theatrical place, in which all the possessions of modern museum design have been exploited to protect the fabric of this unique Gothic palace and also to provide visitors, especially young ones, with an interactive design that is both educational and enjoyable. Particular attention has been focused on the performance of theatrical works, with each room having large television screens showing various productions of Goldoni. The arrangement combines the most recent technology with traditional exhibitions of the works of art that formed the core of the original collection. The exhibition spaces on the first floor have been designed so that they can accommodate all the various types of visitors: scholars, families, tourists, school groups. There are also all the necessary facilities which might be required by disabled visitors.
