If you live in Venice, you’ll either be good at building bridges, or swimming. The Rialto is the oldest of the bridges that span the Grand Canal. When Antonio da Ponte submitted his design, the engineering was considered so outrageous his peers practically laughed him out of his gondola, predicting that the bridge would soon fall down. That was 1591. It’s still there. [Details]
