History
The following is any history we have regarding the bridge's origins:
. S'ignora when really it was founded the church of S. Pantaleon. We only know that in 1009, under the doge Ottone Orseolo, it was rebuilt by the Giordani family. Rinnovossi in 1222 by the parish priest Semitecolo, and consecrossi in 1305 by Ramperto Polo, Bishop of Castello, coll'intervento of two archbishops, and bishops. Threatening to fall, however, was of uopo land you in 1668, and raise it in more substantial structure on the model of Francesco Comino. Accomplished in 1686, he was again consecration in 1745 at the hands of Alvise Foscari patriarch of Venice. This was a parish church, it seems, up from its birth, and had an extensive cicondario, which was remarkably diminished in 1810 to form the parishes of the Friars, and S. Maria del Carmine, and to expand the San Nicol� dei Tolentini.
