Painting - THE
BRIDGE OF SIGHS, VENICE ITALY
|
Antonio Contino's
bridge over the Rio di Palazzo was erected in the year 1600 to
connect the Doge's prisons, or Prigioni, with the
inquisitor's rooms in the main palace. The name "Bridge
of Sighs" was invented in the 19th Century, when Lord Byron
helped to popularize the belief that the bridge's name was
inspired by the sighs of condemned prisoners as they were led
through it to the executioner. (In reality, the days of
inquisitions and summary executions were over by the time the
bridge was built, and the cells under the palace roof were
occupied mostly by small-time criminals.)
