Description
One of the most visited bridges in the entire world, the Bridge of Sighs in Venice, Italy, is deserving of the attention it receives. Mystical and surrounded by various legends and tales, it is easy to understand it's appeal. Built in the 17th Century and designed by architect Antonio Contino, this tiny but ever so impressive bridge has stood the test of time and draws a multitude of visitors each year to it's little corner of Venezia. Originally the bridge served as a connecting walkway between the Doge's Palace and the prison and folklore suggests that the bridge's name came about because prisoners heading to their execution would look out of the small windows and sigh over what they believed would be their last view of Venice. Whether or not there is any truth to this....who knows? I prefer to think that it got it's name because you can't help but sigh when you see it for the first time. I hand blended textures with my original vintage style image to compliment the old world feel of this typical Venetian scene.
