History

The following is any history we have regarding the bridge's origins:

�to S. Maria Formosa. They would like some of these names derive from patrician family Paradise, but is not found in any record that it possessed stable here, or is domiciled. Nor has memory that they stem from some other non-patrician family of the same name, as well as that painter Nicholas, who in one of his paintings date back to 1404 glue is called \Nicolaus Paradixi,\ and an agreement from 1419 between the Fathers of the SS. Giovanni e Paolo, and the brotherhood of \Ligadori\ of the German Warehouse, \Nicholas depentor Heaven,\ was, according to the judgment of the most reputed writers, Nicoletto Semitecolo, and subscribed \Paradise\ only because he lived, as expressed in a Another of his paintings, \in Pontis Paradixi capita\, ie in this location. In addition, the name given to a more ancient time, and in some documents of the fourteenth century these roads do not appeal 'ca' Paradise, \or\ Paradise \, but simply\ el Paradise. \ For these reasons we subscribe as soon as the opinion of the Dezan and others, who argue that the same roads you say \Paradise\ for the magnificence waves were wont to adorn themselves, and lighting in the main feast of the church, and especially on Good Friday, the more that we do not Havva deficiency sacred memories, being the two wings of houses, which form the \Calle del Paradiso,\ joint above the bridge with an arc, where scorgesi carved the image of B. V. with some devotees to 'its piedi.Venendo to speak of this arc, which still forms the admiration of connoisseurs Belle Arti, it is decorated on one side from the weapon Foscari, which is still above the door a little while ago scorgevasi d' a house now rebuilt on the stream, and on the other side Dall'Armi Foscari and Mocenigo. In fact, we know that having Pilgrim Foscari q. Michiel contract marriage in 1491 with Alvise Mocenigo \from Zogie� q. Thomas, the property passed into the ownership of her Mocenigo. Therefore it Alvise Mocenigo notified in 1537 to X Savii over the Tithes, on behalf of Anthony, Francis, and Michiele his children, the \basic cha Foscari\, including, besides the palace to S. Marina, the \Ponte del Pistor,\ eranvi 'case n. 26 in the contr� of S. Maria Formoxa in the place called el Paradise, \and another house\ in Contra de S. Lio. \ From this it follows that not the fourteenth century, but rather at the end of the fifteenth century, the work must be attributed arc indicated, since it is perhaps a play on the other front arch, or avendosi nell'architettarlo wanted to follow a more ancient style, and on the \home statio\ to which it clings. That if, in any way, you want to judge in the fourteenth century, it behooves say in this case, that at least the arms Sieno been remitted, which does not pare.Non then it is unlikely that all the houses above, or at least some of them, belonged once more to the abbey of St. Maria della Pomposa, near Comacchio, as at the other arc, which is a knight of the \Calle del Paradiso ', towards the' Salizzada of S. Lio, \we read the following inscription, now corroded by time since last mccccvii die. de Zugno, fo comenzado these caxe misier don andrea soto de Abado pompous gastoldo pier zane de conteris.Ora tell an anecdote happened here in 1368. One evening of that certain \Lorenzo di Bonfazio of seda 'knocked at the door of a certain Leonardo da Conegliano, player,\ here morabatur in Paradixo in S. contracta Leonis, \warning him that to day he and other friends would come for him to make a morning in the S. Gregorio. 's Time opportune, in fact, all ranging from player, and while he walks down the stairs, and goes off glue group, Lorenzo nascondesi at home, and the attempts of his wife Armellina. It is open the window, shouting to the neighbors, the seducer does escape, and returned her husband, tells him about the adventure. Leonardo mounts on the rampage, and wants to complain to justice, but friends try to calm him down, pointing out that in the end things were not processed beyond the limits of a simple attack. The good man does not believe, and only s'accheta when he goes to church of S. Lorenzo John Chrysostom, lights a doppiere, and swear on the sacred ciborium did not have coll'Armellina trade, and to be repented of attempted undertaken. Leonardo thus allows him to attend their home again, but alas! which reduces a fine day from Treviso, hear the neighbors having the thief committed adultery with his wife, and this moved to tears as she confesses that it was not able to resist the enticements of Lorenzo, and he had lain with him him four times, three in the house, and one from a shoemaker to the SS. Apostles. The 'rasps' of Avogaria \do not say how to remain poor husband who only register Lorenzo, by judgment of 28 February 1368, M. See, he was sentenced to two years' imprisonment with a fine of five hundred francs, the Armellina to two months in prison by the loss of the dowry, and fellow Lorenzo to six months in prison with a fine of one hundred pounds. As for the other streets of Venice, which bear the name \Paradise\, they even remember any family \Paradise\, while the \Sottoportico and the Court of Heaven\ at the \Ruga Giuffa\ of S. Maria Formosa were anciently called \Hell,\ and you can clearly see that in later times you took with best wishes renamed. The \Calle\, then \Paradise,\ the confluence \Riva del Vin,\ he appealed, no doubt, from a pharmacy in the name of \Paradise\, which existed above the shore. A Teodoro Balbi notified in 1661 that they have the \middle of a workshop to be spicier medicines in contr� of S. Sylvester, sora the Riva del Vin, held for rent by Francesco Raffali spicier to Paradise. \ We read also in the \Journal Solarium\ by Gioachino Burani, printed in Venice in 1794: \At about two o'clock the following night the day of 25 November, the year 1753, a sudden and impetuous fire destroyed four houses at the Riva del Vino, in Rialto, together with two shops, a seller of hardware, and the other medicines in the name of the apothecary of Paradise, from which acquired the name of the adjacent street, subject to the district's Eve. \
