The original bridge was very different from this one, built in the 16th century. The decrepit mediaeval structure across the Grand Canal collapsed in 1524. . Many architects made projet for the new bridge, also Michelangelo and Palladio, but the stone bridge was finally carried out in 1587 by Antonio da Ponte.
