History

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

�to S. Eustace. From Pesaro palace, which was started over design Longhena in 1679, as we read in Roman numerals on a sign hand-held by a statue of the prospectus, and that was fulfilled in 1710. It would seem, however, that above that area there was a tenement belonging to the oldest Pesaro, since they are written to the Doge Giovanni Pesaro, born in 1590, he fell in his childhood from the palace of his family in the parish of St. Eustace. Here he sought a refuge on the last Doge Ludovico Manin after his abdication to the principality. The Pesaro, just the genealogist Barbaro came to Venice in 1225 from the city of this name in Romagna, where dicevansi Palmieri, and were exalted state. Yes many men of merit in the toga made clear in arms this family. Who has not known that Benedetto Pesaro, generalissimo of the sea, who had him beheaded on the prow of his galley istessa the infidel Carlo Contarini, conquered Cephalonia, S. Maura, and Alessio, freed from the siege of Naples Romania, and died in Corfu in 1503 after having been honorably marked the peace? They are also memorable actions of Jerome son of Benedict, James Bishop of Paphos, elected in 1501 by Pope apostolic legate and general of the papal linked to that of the Venetians, as well as Francesco archbishop of Zadar, then owner patriarch of Constantinople, and finally appointed by the Senate bishop of Brescia, who died in 1544. Nor should it be forgotten Giovanni Pesaro, made doge in 1658, a man famous for maturity of counsel, for various embassies incurred before, and have passionately harangued before the fathers lest you continue the war against the Turkish. In the code of Gradenigo, sometimes referred to with the title \Memorable Cases Venetians, 'states that the election of the doge, was seen attached to the walls of the city the following sign: Live from the Pesaro Dear, What is it going in preson for laro, And last madness, The Bride � Dona Maria. Not knowing how, however, that the Doge Pesaro has no married woman named Mary, we may assume that the aforementioned satire is output instead thereof at the time of a Procurator of St. Marco Leonardo Pesaro, nephew of the Doge (an. 1649 which in 1648 had married Marietta Giovanni Priuli. Here then, for that addition of ispiegazione 'by the Chariot', must know that the Pesaro family was so nicknamed because it belonged that machine, made in wagon form, which carried the boats from the channel-Lizza Fusina to the lagoon, and from this to that, in 1324 it enabled once commanded of erecting a dam in chief of the same channel because the waters of the Brenta isgorgassero in the lagoon. was taken from the bank in 1561, and raised the 'wagon', building in its stead the \Gates of Moranzan ', which were also of the jurisdiction of Pesaro, for which reason, when the same in 1613 declared themselves to public law, Pesaro received compensation. Pesaro The family rebuilt the church of St. John the Beheaded, costrusse, as well as various palaces, a magnificent altar, and sumptuous mausoleums in the church of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, and gave the name more streets of Venice. Conscience, that in times closer to us produced that prosecutor Francesco di S. Marco, and a large proponent of armed neutrality at the fall of the Republic, went extinct in the minor brother Francesco, who had incurred the charge ambassador in Rome.
