Have you ever wondered what the Ponte Sartorio was called before it was known by that name? Ponte Sartorio is a bridge that has seen a lot of history. Take a moment to imagine this bridge as a grand stone bridge. This grand stone bridge connected a narrow alley, the Salizada del Spezier, at an angle over the Rio del Gozzi with the Fondamenta dei Sartori. It was a bridge that was used daily by many people in Venice, and it was a central point for the neighbourhood. But what was it called before it was known as Ponte Sartorio? The bridge’s original name was Ponte de la Corte Vecia. Ponte de la Corte Vecia means Old Court Bridge. This name, a bit less evocative than Ponte Sartorio, tells us about how this small bridge was important for the people in the area. The bridge itself was just as vital to them as the courts near it. The bridge is named after the hospice for poor tailors and the Scuola dei Sartori nearby. The bridge was an important link between the two, a symbol of the community and a place where people came together. It’s a bridge that has seen a lot of changes in the past few hundred years. But even with all that change, Ponte Sartorio remains a beautiful and important part of Venice.
