The Rialto is and has been for many centuries the financial and commercial centre of Venice. It is an area of the San Polo sestiere of Venice, Italy, also known for its markets and for the Rialto Bridge across the Grand Canal.
The area was settled by the ninth century, when a small area in the middle of the Realtine Islands on either side of the Rio Businiacus was known as the Rivoaltus, or "high bank". Eventually the Businiacus became known as the Grand Canal, and the district the Rialto, referring only to the area on the left bank.
The Rialto became an important district in 1097, when Venice's market moved there, and in the following century a boat bridge was set up across the Grand Canal providing access to it. This was soon replaced by the Rialto Bridge. The bridge has since then become iconic, appearing for example in the seal of Rialto, California ("The Bridge City").
The market grew, both as a retail and as a wholesale market. Warehouses were built, including the famous Fondaco dei Tedeschi on the other side of the bridge. Meanwhile, shops selling luxury goods, banks and insurance agencies appeared and the city's tax offices were located in the area. The city's abattoir was also in the Rialto.

If you were an angel, I would cut off your wings. To keep you with me, I would do anything. Like broken bottles, that slip from druken hands, I've watched my star falling, and shatter on the ground. First you wash your hair, then you wash your hands. Oh yeah, I think I understand. * Untouchable, if I'm not fit, To even crawl, if I'm too sick, I'll soak my skin in alcohol, until I feel untouchable. * I blew my chances, as you blowdried your hair. I thought of my answers, as you walked down the stairs. D'you think I'd defile you, if you were to close? D'you think I'd infect you? D'you think I'd give you a dose? First you wash your hair, then you wash your hands. Oh yeah, I think I understand. * repeat I'll drink until my skin is full, and I will feel untouchable. * repeat Untouchable... Un...

Venice, Italy travel: Rialto Bridge exploration. Both sides of the Rialto Bridge provide excellent views of the canals of Venice, Italy. There's another tour company (not Perillo tours) that uses a picture of the Rialto Bridge in Venice on the cover of it's Europe guide book. Not the Eiffel Tower, or Big Ben, or the Leaning Tower of Pisa. They use the Rialto Bridge as their cover representation of all of Europe. It's a powerful sight! www.perillotours.com http://jpmeyer.com

The ‘city of lagoons’, Venice became the capital of romance, the dream of honeymooners, and destination of millions because of the Saint Mark’s Cathedral, the St. Mark’s Clock, the Doge’s Palace, the Bridge of the Sighs and the tower of Campanile.

I'll call you up from a phone box
Your light is on it's 3 o' clock
We'll go for a drive with the radio on
And you'll come alive to a forgotten song
London crawling
Through the sodium glow
Just like lovers again
Slipping between the sheets of dirty rain
London crawling
Through the sodium glow
Just like lovers again
Slipping between the sheets of dirty rain
Under the cover of the narcotic night
The streaming colors of the traffic lights
The two of us dreading the end
Burning our money in a basement
London crawling
Through the sodium glow
Just like lovers again
Slipping between the sheets of dirty rain
Sunday morning
And I don't want to go
Back to my single bed
To be lying alone out of my head
Don't stop at the lights
There's no one else coming
London crawling
Through the sodium glow
Just like lovers again
Slipping between the sheets of dirty rain
Sunday morning
And I don't want to go
Back to my single bed
