Rialto Bridge

The bones made their way back to Venice ten years later thanks to the brother of the Venetian captain who led the raid.

If you'd like to go and pay your respects, the bones can still be venerated today in the Church of San Salvador, barely a minute's walk from the Rialto Bridge.

For the sake of completeness, we should add that two other Italian locations have claimed to have parts of the same saint, Florence, which has one of his ribs, and Rome.

In England, Saint Theodore's remains can be found at Thorny in Cambridgeshire, although some stories say that that's a different Saint Theodore.

Maurizio drove on, powering faster now in the wide canal.

Ahead, the famous Rialto Bridge loomed, the halfway point to St. Mark's Square.

As they neared the bridge, preparing to pass beneath it, Langdon looked up and saw a lone figure standing motionless at the railing, peering down at them with a sombre visage.

The face was both familiar and terrifying.

I could not put one before the other, but I do none an injustice when I say that Lucia was the equal of the best.

It was over this matter of pictures that I had first met her, for her father owned a palace on the farther side of the Rialto Bridge upon the Grand Canal, and it was so packed with wall paintings that Suchet sent a party of sappers to cut some of them out and send them to Paris.

I had gone down with them, and after I had seen Lucia in tears, it appeared to me that the plaster would crack if it were taken from the support of the wall.

I said so, and the sappers were withdrawn.

And you just think, I don't want to go anywhere near that.

It's worse than standing on the Rialto Bridge at sunset.

No.

Really, it is.

But I have, if you're tuning in on YouTube, I have the little city skylines.

uh, version, the architecture skylines version of Venice in front of me, you know, complete with the Rialto bridge and St. Mark's Basilica.

I would imagine this huge new diorama would not only, it says neighborhood village, and we know we're going to get a gondola that goes with it and some canals because it's Venice.

So you have to have canals, but But I really think it would be interesting to give us a bigger version of St. Mark's Basilica to get us a little bit of the Rialto Bridge.

But I'd really like to see the Doge Palace with this as well, at least a facade part of the Doge Palace.

I just think it would probably be a miss on LEGO's part if they didn't do that.

The Grand Canal is starting to acquire its first run of impressive stone-fronted palaces, with their distinctive arched fronts.

The first version of the Rialto Bridge is there, although it's a fairly rudimentary wooden structure.

Simple bridges across some of the smaller canals are also appearing.

The first warehouses for foreign merchants have started to be built.

So there's lots of spots, but there was a lot of people waiting at each spot.

So eventually we wandered to one near the Rialto Bridge.

And the Rialto Bridge is like the big major bridge that you think of.

It's covered and has little shops.

And we found a spot right near there.
