Hotel Marconi
reserveHotel Marconi is located at the feet of the Rialto Bridge and closed by the public transportation overlooking the “Canal Grande”.
The Rialto Bridge was built around 1181 by the work of Nicolò Barattieri. It seems it was just a simple bridge of boats named “the Quartarolo bridge”, or the “Bridge of the coin”, in memory of the toll that people had to pay crossing with the preexisting ferry.
During the year 1255, under the doge Ranieri Zen, It got rebuilt on wood up on stilts. It got rebuilt several times over the centuries and during the 500 it was rebuild wider with sides for shops and the central part mobile to let the masts of boats passing thought. It was then that the bridge got called “Rialto”, as we know it today. You can ‘ see how it was at the Galleries of the academy.
