Ponte de le Pazienze on the Rio de San Barnaba. Fondamenta Gherardini - Calle de le Pazienze Venezia
Stone bridge; brick and stone structure, brick balustrades. On one side of the bridge, in the center of the arch, there is a sculpture representing a Madonna and Child, on the other side, still in the center of the arch, traces of a chiseled Marcian lion.
Rio de San Barnaba, in the Dorsoduro district, the long and straight rio is bordered by two fondamente on which overlook imposing buildings like Ca ’Rezzonico, Ca’ Contarini Michiel, Ca ’Soranzo. The Rio di San Barnaba is also famous for being crossed by the bridge of fists, on whose central pitch, during the carnival, the opposing factions of the Castellani and Nicolotti gave birth to the fight of fists. Nowadays, four footprints in white stone can be seen set in the corners of the pitch, indicating the positions that the contenders had to take.
