Pure romance and rich history are offered by Venice, the Serenissima, which is much visited not only for the famous Carnivale di Venezia. No less romantic are the legends surrounding one of the most photographed sights of the lagoon city: the Bridge of Sighs is the declared destination of many couples who kiss under the Bridge of Sighs during a ride on a traditional Venetian gondola, thus sealing the eternity of their love, provided this kiss happens at sunset. However, not everything is so romantic, because the Bridge of Sighs leads across the eight-metre-wide Rio di Palazzo. This connection from the Palazzo Ducale, the Doge's Palace, led to Venice's new prison, the Prigioni nuove. At the sight of freedom, the prisoners sighed as they made their way to the prison and saw the Venice lagoon for the last time.
