Among Venice's bridges only four cross the Grand Canal. Which of these four does not cross the Grand Canal?
The four bridges are, in order, Ponte della Costituzione, Ponte degli Scalzi, Ponte di Rialto, Ponte dell'Accademia. The first of these ("The Constitution Bridge") is of very recent construction. The Ponte dei Sospiri (Bridge of Sighs) is the other side of St Mark's Square and connects the prison with the Doge's palace

The Bridge of Sighs album by Robin Trower (1974) is simply superb, as is the title song.

The size of the Bridge of Sighs belies how they minimize the size of the Bridge of Sighs.

Saw the Bridge of Sighs (and others, of course) in person, and it certainly is too small to cross the Grand Canal.

Heidi Allen, Great song and album. I like his partnerships with Jack Bruce.
